Danish legacy brand is no stranger to good design. The first iconic VOLA was created in 1968 for the National Bank of Denmark by legendary architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen. In keeping with its ethos of longevity and timelessness, the brand has unveiled VOLA. for Life—a new perspective on a time-honoured tradition—one they have been perfecting since the company’s inception.
The original design—which Jacobsen based on VOLA founder Verner Overgaard’s vision of a new type of concealed, wall-mounted mixer tap where only the handles and spout were exposed—remains the epitome of the modern tap we know today. The designs balance simple forms and details with a unique sense of character.
“We have never changed the design, only updating the inner workings to enhance longevity. The VOLA story touches all aspects of life, from our homes to our public spaces, from time shared to moments experienced alone. It reaches across the generations and into the future,” the legacy brand explains.

In true Danish spirit, VOLA pays attention to the sensory experience of their products and how that affects lifestyle with a value system orientated around removing excess and promoting a simple way of life.
“Danish design legacy sits at the heart of everything VOLA does. It is guided by the individual and society, with the human experience at its core,” the brand continues. “Its influence is felt across the globe, admired for its pure forms, honest materials and respect for both craft and durability.”
Every VOLA product is based on a modular design system, creating infinite possibilities customisable for any individual’s needs with the made-to-order products handcrafted at the VOLA factory in Horsens, Denmark.
All tapware is available in various finishes, including unique metallics and colours, offering almost unlimited creative scope.
Its timelessness is much more than how the product looks, defined by a commitment to durability and longevity. By still working from their original design, they can provide parts for every product made since 1968—impressive in today’s age of throwaway culture. Obsolescence isn’t a word in their vocab—everything is repairable, and they only release new products when there is a genuine need for them. VOLA is a breath of fresh air as it sits in stark constant to the barrage of product releases and new brands launched into the market.
The almost unlimited configurations which result from its iconic 111 product are a testament to a design system that always looks forward. The 111 family of mixers, handles, plates and spouts is a prime example of a truly modular approach to design.
Each tap is made using processes honed over decades and available in various finishes, including unique metallics and colours, offering almost unlimited creative scope. This commitment to simple, beautiful and modular design is the foundation of VOLA’s success and will pave the way for an innovative future. Cheers to another 55 years and beyond.
