Its ambition is subtler: to allow a highly defined object to become a canvas for personal interpretation.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2096\" data-end=\"2210\">\u201cThe Bespoke series is about allowing a highly defined object to become a canvas for personal interpretation.\u201d<\/h2>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"1ij2pr8\" data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2269\">The Swivel chair: a design born from architecture<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"2271\" data-end=\"2678\">To understand the new collection, one must go back to 2014. That year <em>Vipp<\/em> inaugurated its first architectural project, the <em>Vipp Shelter<\/em>, a small steel house located in the Swedish forest. Conceived as a complete immersion into the brand\u2019s universe, the retreat included furniture developed specifically for that environment. Among these pieces appeared for the first time the <em>Vipp Swivel<\/em> chair.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2271\" data-end=\"2678\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98785 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-chair-story-annika-zobel-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-chair-story-annika-zobel-04.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-chair-story-annika-zobel-04-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-chair-story-annika-zobel-04-283x425.jpg 283w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-chair-story-annika-zobel-04-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-chair-story-annika-zobel-04-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2680\" data-end=\"2943\">The chair was based on a simple idea: an enveloping shell with precise ergonomics combined with a swivel base that introduced mobility and visual lightness. The result was a sculptural seat capable of integrating equally well into a dining setting or a workspace.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2945\" data-end=\"3049\">The design proved successful and, over time, became a recurring typology within the company\u2019s catalogue.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3051\" data-end=\"3154\">As <em>Egelund<\/em> explains, the new chapter of this piece emerges precisely from that consolidated trajectory: <em>\u201cThe Swivel is an evolution of our first chair, originally designed for the Vipp Shelter in 2014. We kept the shell and added a swivel base. That formula resonated strongly in the market, and since then the chair has become a recurring typology within our collection.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3426\" data-end=\"3638\">The <em>Bespoke Swivel series<\/em> preserves that original structure. The sculptural shell remains unchanged and the 360-degree rotation continues to be a key functional element. The difference appears on the surface.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"wuik3z\" data-start=\"3645\" data-end=\"3696\">Bespoke: personalisation without losing identity<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"3698\" data-end=\"3864\">The word <em data-start=\"3707\" data-end=\"3716\">bespoke<\/em> is often associated with tailoring or with pieces made entirely to measure. In the case of Vipp, the concept is interpreted with greater precision.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3866\" data-end=\"3988\">As mentioned earlier, the structural design of the chair does not change. What becomes customisable is the upholstery. This means architects, interior designers or private clients can apply their own fabrics to the chair, transforming a recognisable form into a unique piece.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3866\" data-end=\"3988\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98750 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-todos-santos-mexico-swivel-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-todos-santos-mexico-swivel-02.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-todos-santos-mexico-swivel-02-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-todos-santos-mexico-swivel-02-283x425.jpg 283w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-todos-santos-mexico-swivel-02-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-todos-santos-mexico-swivel-02-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4148\" data-end=\"4355\"><em>\u201cStructurally the chair remains unchanged\u201d<\/em>, explains <em>Egelund<\/em>. <em>\u201cThe bespoke element lies in the upholstery, allowing clients to apply their own textile and transform a familiar Vipp form into a unique piece.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4357\" data-end=\"4485\">The idea of turning an object into a creative platform is not entirely new for the brand. In fact, it forms part of its history.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4487\" data-end=\"4782\">From its earliest years, <em>Vipp<\/em> experimented with reinterpretations of its iconic pedal bin by inviting artists and designers to work on the original object. That strategy transformed a simple bin into an icon of industrial design. The <em>Bespoke series<\/em> translates this philosophy into furniture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4784\" data-end=\"4953\">Rather than multiplying models or collections, <em>Vipp<\/em> maintains a deliberately restrained catalogue while opening the door to interventions that respect the original form.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"1seoqjf\" data-start=\"4960\" data-end=\"5005\">The role of textiles in the new collection<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"5007\" data-end=\"5115\">If the structure remains constant, the character of each <em>Bespoke<\/em> chair largely depends on the chosen fabric.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5007\" data-end=\"5115\">At this point the brand adopts an almost editorial approach. Textile selection is not a decorative gesture but must respond to both aesthetic and technical criteria.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5284\" data-end=\"5481\"><em>\u201cA bespoke solution requires a close dialogue with the client\u201d<\/em>, explains <em>Egelund<\/em>. <em>\u201cWe advise on material quality, such as Martindale ratings, and on how patterns behave when applied to upholstery.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"5483\" data-end=\"5563\">\u201cThe character of each Bespoke chair largely depends on the chosen textile.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5565\" data-end=\"5779\">The company also works with some of the most prestigious textile houses in the world. These collaborations provide access to extensive fabric libraries where contemporary materials coexist with historical patterns.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5565\" data-end=\"5779\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98752 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-lagrasse-kitchen-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1061\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-lagrasse-kitchen-01.jpg 1061w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-lagrasse-kitchen-01-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-lagrasse-kitchen-01-301x425.jpg 301w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-lagrasse-kitchen-01-768x1086.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1061px) 100vw, 1061px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5781\" data-end=\"5975\">The ultimate goal is to ensure three fundamental qualities: durability, tactility and long-term performance. These factors guarantee that the chair retains its aesthetic relevance over time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5977\" data-end=\"6156\">In other words, the <em>Bespoke<\/em> concept is not about creating ephemeral objects or fleeting trends. Personalisation must coexist with longevity, a core value within <em>Vipp<\/em>\u2019s philosophy.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"181x9tu\" data-start=\"6163\" data-end=\"6210\">A curated universe, not an endless catalogue<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"6212\" data-end=\"6382\">At a time when many brands multiply collections and collaborations to remain visible, <em>Vipp<\/em> has chosen almost the opposite strategy. Its catalogue is deliberately limited.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6212\" data-end=\"6382\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98787 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-textile-mixed-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1070\" height=\"1700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-textile-mixed-1.jpg 1070w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-textile-mixed-1-189x300.jpg 189w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-textile-mixed-1-268x425.jpg 268w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-textile-mixed-1-768x1220.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-textile-mixed-1-967x1536.jpg 967w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1070px) 100vw, 1070px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6384\" data-end=\"6563\">Pieces are developed internally and respond to a tightly controlled formal language. Within this relatively strict universe, the <em>Bespoke<\/em> concept introduces a layer of flexibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6565\" data-end=\"6689\"><em>\u201cCustom solutions add a playful and flexible dimension, but they do not define a new direction for the brand\u201d<\/em>, says <em>Egelund<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6691\" data-end=\"6926\">This sentence neatly summarises the strategy: Bespoke does not replace the original design, it amplifies it. In doing so, the chair can adapt to different architectural contexts without losing the aesthetic coherence that defines <em>Vipp<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"1xtx0oh\" data-start=\"6933\" data-end=\"6994\">Architecture and design: the laboratory of the Vipp Houses<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"6996\" data-end=\"7323\">The relationship between objects and architecture is one of the most fascinating aspects of the brand. For more than a decade, <em>Vipp<\/em> has developed a collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/vipp.com\/en\/world-of-vipp\/our-guesthouses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>guesthouses<\/em><\/a> in different parts of the world. Each of these houses is conceived as an immersive experience where visitors can inhabit the brand\u2019s entire universe.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7325\" data-end=\"7559\">The network currently includes destinations as diverse as Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Mexico, Tasmania, Andorra and Norway. In each project, architecture functions as a laboratory where products are integrated into a real environment. Within these spaces, <em>Bespoke editions<\/em> find particularly fertile ground.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"7634\" data-end=\"7712\">\u201cWithin each Vipp House, Bespoke editions find especially fertile ground.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"7714\" data-end=\"8057\">For example, the <em>Vipp Townhouse<\/em> in Lagrasse, France, uses a graphic textile from <em>Pierre Frey<\/em> to reinterpret the <em>Swivel<\/em> chair. In the guesthouse in Todos Santos, Mexico, the upholstery pattern references local textile traditions. At <em>Vipp Tunnel<\/em> in Tasmania, dining chairs are upholstered in curly sheepskin sourced from New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8059\" data-end=\"8174\">Each architectural project becomes a narrative platform where furniture enters into dialogue with its surroundings.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"iuermb\" data-start=\"8181\" data-end=\"8225\">The new Vipp Pavilion in Upstate New York<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"8227\" data-end=\"8401\">The latest addition to this global collection is the <em>Vipp Pavilion<\/em>, inaugurated this March in New York State.

The architecture was designed by Los Angeles studio <em>Johnston Marklee<\/em>, known for its sculptural approach to geometry and materiality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8679\" data-end=\"8924\">The building, approximately 111 square metres, is composed of two tangent elliptical volumes that create a monolithic silhouette. The exterior is clad in smooth and grooved stucco, a texture that reflects the undulations of the nearby water.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8679\" data-end=\"8924\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98758 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Vipp-Pavillion-Richard-Gaston-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Vipp-Pavillion-Richard-Gaston-6.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Vipp-Pavillion-Richard-Gaston-6-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Vipp-Pavillion-Richard-Gaston-6-283x425.jpg 283w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Vipp-Pavillion-Richard-Gaston-6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Vipp-Pavillion-Richard-Gaston-6-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8926\" data-end=\"9063\">According to <em>Sharon Johnston<\/em>, co-founder of the studio, the pavilion was conceived as an almost geological presence in the landscape:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8926\" data-end=\"9063\"><em>\u201c<\/em><em>From afar, the building resembles a stone in the pond. It appears solid at first, but gradually reveals its volumetric form as one approaches.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9211\" data-end=\"9513\">The interior follows <em>Vipp<\/em>\u2019s characteristic minimalist logic. The main space is organised around the <em>V3<\/em> kitchen in anodised aluminium, positioned beneath a circular skylight. The colour palette draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape, with tones recalling autumn leaves, tree bark and moss.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9515\" data-end=\"9647\">The house accommodates four guests and is conceived as a quiet retreat where architecture, landscape and design interact intimately.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"m8m8wk\" data-start=\"9654\" data-end=\"9705\">The Pavilion Edition of the Bespoke Swivel Chair<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"9707\" data-end=\"9786\">For this new guesthouse, <em>Vipp<\/em> developed a specific version of the <em>Swivel<\/em> chair.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9707\" data-end=\"9786\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98748 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-upstate-new-york-livingroom-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1178\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-upstate-new-york-livingroom-09.jpg 1178w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-upstate-new-york-livingroom-09-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-upstate-new-york-livingroom-09-334x425.jpg 334w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-upstate-new-york-livingroom-09-768x978.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1178px) 100vw, 1178px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9788\" data-end=\"10047\">The<em> Pavilion Edition<\/em> is upholstered in light grey leather inspired by the tones of the building\u2019s stucco. The most interesting detail appears on the surface: small perforations referencing both the brand\u2019s design DNA and the pavilion\u2019s circular skylights.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"10049\" data-end=\"10136\">\u201cThe Pavilion Edition chair translates architectural elements into product design.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"10138\" data-end=\"10387\">The chair sits on a fixed four-leg polished aluminium base while maintaining the model\u2019s characteristic 360-degree rotation. More than a simple piece of furniture, it functions as an object that translates architectural elements into product design.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10389\" data-end=\"10597\">This dialogue between building and object reflects one of the fundamental principles of the <em>Vipp<\/em> universe: design is not understood as a collection of isolated pieces, but as a coherent system of experiences.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"2qw2jd\" data-start=\"10604\" data-end=\"10647\">The dialogue between client and designer<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"10649\" data-end=\"10845\">Creating a <em>Bespoke<\/em> piece always involves conversation. Clients bring materials, references or ideas, and the <em>Vipp<\/em> team evaluates how these elements can be integrated into the chair\u2019s construction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10649\" data-end=\"10845\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98760 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-swivel-chair-curly-edition-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-swivel-chair-curly-edition-02.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-swivel-chair-curly-edition-02-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-swivel-chair-curly-edition-02-283x425.jpg 283w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-swivel-chair-curly-edition-02-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-swivel-chair-curly-edition-02-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10847\" data-end=\"11101\"><em>\u201cThe development of a Bespoke piece is always a dialogue\u201d<\/em>, explains <em>Egelund<\/em>. <em>\u201cClients bring their preferred materials or ideas, while our team ensures that the textile and its application align with the chair\u2019s construction and our durability standards.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11103\" data-end=\"11187\">This approach ensures that each project maintains a high level of technical quality.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"gia3ja\" data-start=\"11194\" data-end=\"11229\">Sustainability through longevity<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"11231\" data-end=\"11387\">In the contemporary debate on sustainability, many brands focus on recycled materials or low-impact processes. <em>Vipp<\/em> adopts a slightly different perspective.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11231\" data-end=\"11387\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98777 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-martine-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-martine-04.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-martine-04-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-martine-04-283x425.jpg 283w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-martine-04-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/vipp-bespoke-martine-04-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11389\" data-end=\"11575\">For the company, durability is the key factor. A product that remains relevant for decades avoids the need for constant replacement. This principle also applies to customised pieces.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11577\" data-end=\"11704\">Even within the <em>Bespoke<\/em> model, production is based on a fixed design platform and carefully controlled manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11706\" data-end=\"11886\"><em>\u201cBy working with a stable design base and longer production cycles we can maintain responsible manufacturing processes while encouraging a long product lifespan\u201d<\/em>, explains the CEO.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11888\" data-end=\"12089\">This philosophy connects directly with the brand\u2019s industrial heritage.<em> Vipp<\/em> objects are not conceived as temporary decorative elements, but as tools designed to accompany everyday life for many years.<\/p>\n<h6 data-section-id=\"geo4mj\" data-start=\"12096\" data-end=\"12125\">A design meant to be lived<\/h6>\n<p data-start=\"12127\" data-end=\"12278\">The history of <em>Vipp<\/em> shows that innovation does not always mean reinventing forms. Sometimes it consists in expanding the meaning of an existing object.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12280\" data-end=\"12523\">The <em>Bespoke Swivel series <\/em>achieves this by introducing personalisation within a clearly defined design structure. The chair maintains its sculptural identity and original ergonomics, yet the narrative each user can build around it changes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12525\" data-end=\"12742\">In this sense, the project also reflects a broader cultural shift. Contemporary design no longer focuses solely on producing iconic objects, but increasingly seeks to generate more personal and contextual experiences.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"12744\" data-end=\"12856\">\u201cEach guesthouse becomes a stage where furniture integrates with architecture, landscape and everyday life.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"12858\" data-end=\"13238\">The <em>Vipp Houses<\/em> illustrate this transformation particularly clearly. Each guesthouse becomes a setting where furniture integrates with architecture, landscape and daily life. The new <em>Vipp Pavilion <\/em>in Upstate New York pushes this idea even further: within that bucolic environment, a chair becomes a bridge between the geometry of the building and the visitor\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"13240\" data-end=\"13444\">Perhaps that is the true strength of the <em>Vipp<\/em> universe: a seemingly simple object \u2014 a chair, a kitchen, a pedal bin \u2014 can acquire an entirely different meaning when inserted into a coherent design system.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"13446\" data-end=\"13678\">The <em>Bespoke Swivel series<\/em> demonstrates that even within a strongly defined identity there remains space for personal interpretation. In that tension between industrial precision and individual expression lies much of its appeal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"13680\" data-end=\"13711\"><strong>(*)<\/strong> Photographs courtesy of Vipp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What makes Vipp particularly interesting is that its growth has never been driven by marketing noise, but by a coherent narrative built around engineering, durability and aesthetic precision.
