VOLA: The Standard Since 1968

In 1968, VOLA revolutionised the modern tap, drawing inspiration from the original designs of Arne Jacobsen and Verner Overgaard, masters at blending exceptional Danish design with a commitment to craftsmanship and responsible manufacturing.

From the outset, Vola products have been celebrated for their pure forms, unmatched quality, and timeless simplicity. The iconic KV1 kitchen mixer was included in MoMA’s permanent design collection in 1974 and is featured at Copenhagen’s Design Museum in Denmark.

VOLA is recognised and celebrated by architects and interior designers worldwide as a hallmark of quality—the genuine article, not a replica. The unique VOLA modular design system offers flexibility with a nearly limitless array of product configurations in bold colours and enduring finishes. The product proportions remain faithful to the original 1968 designs, ensuring aesthetic consistency and fostering complete design harmony and balance.

Every product is crafted to order in the Danish factory, utilising only the best materials and maintaining a steadfast commitment to craftsmanship. The result is exquisite, hand-finished products that not only look and feel remarkable but also ensure the seamless integration of water into architecture for generations to come.

Built for Generations, Built to Last

VOLA blends time-honoured craftsmanship with state-of-the-art engineering to guarantee that each product meets the highest standards of quality and durability. By exclusively utilising premium stainless steel and brass and prioritising bespoke production over mass manufacturing, they ensure meticulous soldering, polishing, and thorough individual hand testing for every item.

The achieved finish on their expansive range is not documented, but something that is taught from generation to generation. With over 5 decades of experience, VOLA’’s dedicated team of machinists, designers, managers, and metal workers all hold their craftsmanship to the highest standards to ensure excellence.

Danish Design and Encouraging Conscious Choices

Since 1968, the world has undergone significant changes in design and architecture. Yet, the essence of enduring design remains a guiding principle, placing the human experience at its core. Danish design is a timeless aesthetic that goes beyond fleeting trends, a product built for generations of use. VOLA’s designs have never been altered, focusing solely on enhancing the internal mechanisms to ensure longevity and durability, allowing the products to be updated rather than replaced over time.

This philosophy promotes the idea of buying less but investing in better quality, a value deeply embedded in their identity. By prioritising the needs of users, the environment, and the makers, it creates a cycle of wellbeing. The products are crafted to age gracefully, with natural materials that only get better with time. At VOLA, encouraging mindful consumption while empowering users to maintain their tapware through wear and updates is a necessary responsibility in promoting sustainability while honouring the harmony of design and function.

Modularity: Make it Yours

Part of what makes VOLA truly different is the unique modular system, with VOLA’s family of parts – including levers, handles, spouts and plates – all interchangeable. Consistently designed with the original 1968 proportions, the modular system means that VOLA fits into any design scheme and allows customisation to respond to changing lifestyles and interior specifications, also allowing for adaptability and flexibility in the future.

The Iconic KV1 Kitchen Mixer

The KV1 has spent over 5 decades as one of VOLA’s most iconic products. Designed by Arne Jacobsen, who contributed globally to architectural functionalism with his timeless Danish designs.

When the KV1 was initially introduced, it represented a bold departure from traditional design aesthetics. The gentle curves and detailed junctions are the perfect blend of technology and timeless elegance.

The KV1 is fitted with ceramic disc technology, an impressive double swivel spout, and a water-saving aerator. It is most commonly found in the kitchen but can also be used diversely for bathrooms and laundry areas.
