Danish homeware brand Vipp has expanded into food by creating a venue for pop-up supper clubs inside the former Viking pencil factory in Copenhagen.
Set to launch during annual design festival 3 Days of Design, Vipp Pencil Factory is a 400-square-metre showroom space that will host guest chefs from around the world, creating a dining experience for up to 26 guests.
The space was originally a factory for Viking pencils
The space was styled by interior designer Julie Cloos Mølsgaard, combining furniture and accessories from Vipp's collection with pieces sourced from local design galleries including Etage Projects, 2112 and Galleri Nils Stærk.
Located in lslands Brygge, the pencil factory had been closed down since the 1970s, when Viking ? the manufacturer behind Denmark's ubiquitous yellow school pencils ? was taken over by a rival company. Mølsgaard's design sees the large industrial space become more cosy and intimate, with the introduction of wooden furniture and flooring along with tactile fabrics in the form of curtains, rugs and cushions.

The food will be made in Vipp's modular V2 kitchen, which sits at the centre of the space.
Wide concrete steps lead up to the dining space, where a long table with a matching limestone surface is accompanied by swivel chairs in black leather. Folded paper pendant lamps hang overhead, while large windows provide the backdrop.
Music performances will accompany the dinners
