Shortly after Danish architect Arne Jacobsen won a competition in 1961 for his design of Denmark’s Nationalbank he was contacted by Verner Overgaard, the owner of VOLA A/S, who introduced his proposal for a new type of wall-mounted mixer tap. Overgaard imagined a design where all the mechanical parts of the mixer were hidden, leaving only the handles and spout exposed. At the time, this was a completely new concept and Jacobsen realised that this idea combined with his functional approach to design had great potential. With that basic principle in mind, the simple VOLA design that we know today was conceived.

VOLA products have been celebrated globally for their originality since 1968 . These iconic designs have earned numerous awards and are featured in prestigious museums, including MoMA in New York and Designmuseum in Denmark. Renowned for their timeless elegance and innovative craftsmanship, VOLA products continue to set the standard in design excellence and still continue to be recognised and awarded today.
