Certainly one of my most cherished press journey was a small journey to Copenhagen and Sweden on invitation of Vipp who invited me to expertise two of their Vipp motels. Earlier this yr Vipp opened the doorways to a really totally different type of guesthouse, set inside a Thirteenth-century palazzo within the coronary heart of Brescia, adorned with frescoes from 1750.
The challenge was the seventh entry in Vipp’s guesthouse portfolio and was created as a habitable set up by Danish inside designer Julie Cloos Mølsgaard. Not like a traditional resort, Vipp’s guesthouses discover totally different architectural settings and switch them into one-of-a-kind locations to remain. Palazzo Monti was one in every of these short-term pop-up experiences.

Inside Palazzo Monti
Palazzo Monti itself is an artwork home based by Edoardo Monti. Since 2017, its residency programme has welcomed artists from Italy and overseas, working throughout portray, images, sculpture, visible arts and design. In accordance with Vipp, greater than 200 artists from 50 international locations had been welcomed by Palazzo Monti, with every artist invited to depart behind a piece created throughout their keep.
For the Vipp challenge, three rooms on the primary ground have been reworked into a up to date suite. A hallway, salon and bed room with an adjoining stroll in closet and toilet have been furnished with Vipp furnishings and lighting, set towards the present ornamentation and artworks of the palazzo. The mixture of the historic environment and Vipp’s design continues into the ground-floor kitchen and eating space. Right here, Julie Cloos Mølsgaard positioned a matte black V1 modular kitchen island.
The kitchen sits on a ground of domestically crafted jade tiles, whereas inexperienced particulars all through the inside discuss with the area’s inside fashion from the 1600s. The historic ornamentation stays seen all through the rooms, whereas Vipp’s industrial design kinds the up to date layer of the inside.

The expertise prolonged past the rooms themselves. Friends stayed as the one visitor within the area, with entry to the communal space and the artists collaborating in Palazzo Monti’s residency programme. Vipp Palazzo Monti was subsequently not merely one other resort inside, however a part of Vipp’s ongoing guesthouse idea of short-term locations that carry the Vipp universe into very totally different architectural settings.
