It’s our morning wake-up call. A life-giving ingredient. The purest of beauty treatments. An invitation to play. A deeply calming way to relax. The Vola range makes these everyday activities a real pleasure. With its sleek, sculptured lines and perfect proportions, the original Vola design, created over 35 years ago by Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, is recognised today as a design icon. Vola technology and manufacturing are just as unique, delivering unrivalled levels of quality, control and comfort.
Arne Jacobsen & Verner Overgaard 2-3 Our story It’s the story of how architect Arne Jacobsen and manufacturer Verner Overgaard joined forces to create something original, beautiful and timeless. An uncompromising vision Working in the 1950s and 60s, leading Danish architect Arne Jacobsen epitomised the Danish Modern style, blending elegant functionalism with organic forms. He designed St Catherine’s College, Oxford and the National Bank of Denmark, among other influential buildings. However, his vision did not end with the completion of a building. He often designed every element of its furniture and fittings, in order to achieve a totally integrated space – classical in its sense of proportion and attention to detail, but appropriate to the modern world. Many of Jacobsen’s furniture designs, including the ‘Ant’ chair from 1952 and the ‘Egg’ chair designed for the Radisson SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, are regarded as classics. Partners in design Verner Overgaard, owner of longestablished and innovative manufacturer Vola, was looking for a designer who could realise his idea for a revolutionary new product: a tap with a wall-mounted mixer whose mechanical parts were concealed within the wall, leaving only the handle and spout visible. When Arne Jacobsen came to his attention through his award-winning Bank of Denmark project, Overgaard knew he’d found a partner as committed to modernist form and function as himself. For his part, Jacobsen immediately saw the new product’s potential and its relevance to his own design ethic. International recognition The Vola design as we know it today first went into production in 1968. It won international acclaim and design awards from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Kunstgewerbemuseum Cologne and the Cincinatti Art Museum, among others. A modern classic Of course, technology moves on. In more than 35 years of production, Vola’s technical specifications have changed dramatically to embrace innovation and meet changing needs. But Arne Jacobsen’s design has stood the test of time, and remains one of our most sought-after ranges worldwide.
