With all the fun of the festive period well and truly over and the time off from work just a distant memory, now, more than ever, you may be dreaming of escaping the day-today slog to somewhere gorgeous. This month Inex looks at two very different, but equally beautifully designed getaways.

The first is the Vipp shelter on page 32. This all-inclusive refuge is equipped with everything from a kitchen to lighting and is the perfect forest hideaway. The Vipp shelter is born from the same function principles as the Vipp bin, the product that the company is famous for, and is a tool to escape to nature.

The second is the Red Mountain Resort Hotel. Captured by the mystique and mystery of the Icelandic landscape, where, according to local mythology, ‘invisible people’ and ‘half-men, half-trolls’ are believed to roam, Johannes Torpe Studios has designed a place of unparalleled harmony. Situated on the western peninsula of Snæfellsness, at the point where the river mouth runs out to the sea, the resort faces Snæfellsjökull, a majestic glacier-covered stratovolcano and will offer guests a sensory escape into the solitude and seclusion of the breathtaking Icelandic nature. Turn to page 54 to explore the proposal for the truly magical spa and wellness centre.
