Standing the test of time

When commissioned to design a new type of wall-mounted mixer tap, Arne Jacobsen (one of Denmark's most famed architects) had a vision for an entirely new concept; a design that concealed all of the mechanical parts, leaving only the handle and spout exposed.

Other than affording flexibility in finishes and colours, the Vola tap has stayed true to its design since 1968 – the mark of a timeless, classic design that never dates. Produced from the best quality materials, a Vola tap lasts generations. However, if you did need a spare part, you can rest assured you’ll be able to get it in another 40 years’ time. This is sustainable design at its best.

Even in today’s world of ever-changing trends and fashion, VOLA of Denmark remains an icon, a tribute to a culture that worships pure, yet functional, design above all else.

When first introduced to the market, the minimalist VOLA lines of kitchen and bathroom fixtures were seen as a radical departure from existing and traditional design ideas and quickly became a firm favourite of forward -thinking architects and interior designers.

Jacobsen designed a modular system that included all the components necessary to cover every bathroom requirement. Over the years, his system has been developed so you can create the bathroom which suits your lifestyle, using individual combinations of handles, spouts, cover plates and accessories.

Water consumption is a hot topic in bathroom design and a challenge Vola face head on. Water-saving aerators and flow restrictors built into their designs are just as important as looks and usability.
