Danish design brand Vipp has opened the doors of a new countryside guesthouse in Ostuni, one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. The design of the guesthouse was realized in collaboration with the Dutch design studio Studiotoff who are specialized in adaptive reuse and renovation projects.
The whitewashed building so typical of Puglia’s scenic landscape holds a one-story family guesthouse that goes in line with the architectural style of the area. The edges of the 1.5 ha plot are lined with a low dry-stone wall which is a local tradition to define your piece of land. The villa itself stands in sharp contrast against the rugged natural scenery.
A modern living space with a light grey kitchen
The living kitchen is characterized by the modern light grey kitchen with stainless steel countertops that contribute to a modern design aesthetic. The curated furniture selection harmonizes perfectly with a selection of rural countryside objects.
The concrete flooring and white walls set the stage for the grey Vipp kitchen and the grey sectional sofa, which seem to both blend in and stand out in this setting at the same time.
A trio of black metal wall lights stand out against the white wall and provide the perfect countertop lighting while cooking.
The Vipp sculpture table lamp is perfect for atmospheric lighting at night and it matches the design language of the iconic Vipp bin right next to it.
A separate larger cupboard holds the oven and fridge on top of which you can find a beautiful selection of Italian pottery that contrasts with the clean and modern lines of the kitchen.
Cozy yet minimal bedrooms with a mixture of modern and rustic elements
Just like in the rest of the interior, the bedrooms are decorated in a cozy, yet minimal way, with a mixture of modern design elements paired with rustic accessories and details to make the space inviting and to make it match the style of the area.
The second bedroom pairs a minimal bed frame with a modern table lamp and a rustic wall hanging and bench for a beautiful mixture of styles which adds a unique effect to the interior.
