Named after the passenger ferries from Iceland that reached dock here, the Copenhagen area of Islands Brygge holds a history of harbour industry. With a harbour clean enough to swim in it, open air swimming right in the centre of the city has become a magnet for Copenhageners.

Streets in the area are named after Icelandic cities and artists. Its street name deriving from the famous Nordic poet of the Viking age, Snorre Sturlason, Snorresgade number 22 has been home to Vipp since 2005.

In the back of the courtyard housing Vipp Headquarters, a former auto garage from the 1950s has been transformed into a cultural catalyst for Vipp by architects Frank Maali and Gemma Lalanda. Here, we park our wildest dreams about design, architecture, food, art, and music.
