living vola architect arne jacobsen's collaboration with vola has resulted in a world- class series of fittings for kitchen and bath. kv1 was selected for the permanent collec- tion at moma in 1974. recently vola launched an app where the whole vola range can be found. vola is manufactured by vola a/s a well established danish company founded in 1873, owned and run by the overgaard family. both the new built-in waste bin, vola rs1 and the round series as design
concept were nominated for the german design award 2013. the german design council has now announced that the built-in waste bin, vola rs1 receives the german design award 2013. www.vola.com vola // shortly after famous danish architect arne jacobsen won a competition in 1961 for his design of the national bank of denmark he was contacted by the owner of vola a/s, verner overgaard who introduced his proposal for a new type of wall-mounted mixer tap. he imagined a design where all the mechanical parts of the mixer were hidden leaving only the handles and spout exposed. at that time this was a completely new concept, but jacobsen realized that this idea combined with his func- tional approach to design could be developed. with that basic principle in mind, it was conceived the simple and concise vola design that we know today was conceived. since jacobsen's death in 1971, teit weylandt, one of arne jacobsen's for- mer assistants, and later on the design de- partment of aarhus arkitekterne a/s along with vola director carsten overgaard contin- ued to introduce new products into the world of the famous vola range. thus estab- lishing vola as an international brand whilst keeping the original principles of excellent design and functionality. vola // kurz nach seinem wettbewerbssieg 1961 in der ausschreibung für die
dänische nationalbank wurde arne jacobsen vom gründer von vola a/s, verner overgaard, kontaktiert, der ihm einen neuen typ einer wandmontierten armatur vorschlug. overgaard hatte ein design vor augen, bei dem alle mechanischen teile hinter der wand verborgen sein sollten, nur die griffe und die ausläufe sollten sichtbar sein. zu dieser zeit war das ein völlig neuer entwurfsansatz. jacobsen war sich aber sicher, dass diese idee in kombination mit seinem praxisnahen designkonzept bereits reif für die umsetzung war. entsprechend diesem grundprinzip wurde dann das puristische und klassische vola design, wie wir es heute kennen, entwickelt. nach jacobsens tod 1971 verfolgten teit weylandt, ein ehemaliger assistent von arne jacobsen, und dann die designabteilung von aarhus arkitekterne a/s sowie vola direktor carsten overgaard diese richtung weiter und gliederten neue objekte in die weltbekannte vola produkt- palette ein. sie machten vola zu einer weltmarke, behielten aber die ursprünglichen prinzipien exzellenten designs und einer ebensolchen funktionsweise bei.
