By accentuating craft and longevity, VOLA upholds its legacy as the original modern tapware designer with a lasting commitment to Danish design and culture. Placing emphasis on simplicity, quality and wellbeing, VOLA’s products maintain an enduring appeal.

VOLA first introduced its modern tap design in 1968. Since then, the brand has continued its commitment to crafting pieces that feel at once full of purpose and possibility. Focusing on integral touchpoints in everyday life, the brand consistently offers products that not only celebrate form and craft but also durability and innovation. VOLA’s design philosophy references a Danish way of life, slowly creating meaningful infrastructure for living with a strong focus on consequence, simplicity and quality. These design values are at the core of VOLA and see each piece endure through multiple generations.

Focusing on integral touchpoints in everyday life, the brand consistently offers products that not only celebrate form and craft but also durability and innovation.

Significantly, VOLA places a large emphasis on the sensory experience of a product; not just how it looks or how it is created, but how the design feels and is enjoyed. Each piece must assist and enhance the lives of its customers. Balancing aesthetics and functionality, VOLA’s original design by Arne Jacobsen was based on VOLA Founder Verner Overgaard’s desire to craft a concealed and wall-mounted mixer tap; this remains the quintessence of modern tap design, so much so that VOLA has never changed the design itself.

The timeless nature of VOLA’s ethos is best captured by VOLA 111, VOLA HV1, VOLA KV1, VOLA 590H and VOLA 131. Despite having distinctive silhouettes, they are all single-handle mixers, complete with ceramic disc technology and available in a wide-range of colours to suit an array of interiors. Each VOLA product is made to order and handcrafted in Denmark.

With Danish design principles underpinning every facet of the brand, VOLA celebrates the simple, promoting quality design that lasts.

VOLA is also committed to producing pieces that are based upon a modular foundation, meaning that there is an infinite number of possibilities that can be applied and customised to precise styles and needs. By staying true to the brand’s original design, VOLA is equipped to provide parts for every product made since 1968. This demonstrates VOLA’s commitment to enduring design, allowing true longevity to surpass aesthetics alone.

With an innate sense of enduring design, VOLA continues to produce genuine pieces that speak to modern, everyday living. With Danish design principles underpinning every facet of the brand, VOLA celebrates the simple, promoting quality design that lasts.
