Like the other elements, the electronic soap dispenser and cistern flush are built-in and beautifully aligned to the wall.

But they are also completely contact-free, using the latest technology to provide a totally clean and relaxing experience.

In a public space purity and hygiene are essential.

The Round Series for the luxury washroom already features the built-in waste bin and the built-in tissue dispenser.

Now together with the classic VOLA hands-free tap and electronic cistern flush, the new soap dispenser takes the outer circle as the core of its design and translates it into a highly innovative product.

The modular nature of the VOLA washroom means customers can combine any products – choosing their finish, colour and functional details – to create a co-ordinated and cohesive space.

The complete VOLA hands-free set of products is pure, compact, water-saving and effortlessly beautiful.

No VOLA washroom is complete without the legendary VOLA tap.

VOLA electronic taps and mixers for hands-free operation save water and secure high hygiene.And since evolution is part of Vola’s culture, they have redesigned the hands-free sensor to be aligned with the wall.

The new design is more responsive too. No sooner does it sense a hand under the tap than it activates the water flow.

The temperature is user-friendly from the start.

Round tissue dispenser and waste paper bin

vola round series

The existing VOLA paper tissue dispenser, RS2 and waste bin, RS1 are important elements in the Round Series executive washroom.

The paper tissue dispenser’s circular rim encloses a cylinder holding the tissues. A concealed spring makes sure the tissues are always pushed to the front.

The unobtrusive waste bin is opened by gently pushing the front with a hand or knee. Its mechanism is smooth and silent. The bin is simple to empty and its built-in style makes cleaning effortless.

Hands-free cistern single or dual flush

vola timeline2011

VOLA is manufactured by VOLA A/S a well established Danish company founded in 1873, owned and run by the Overgaard family.

Shortly after 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 are hidden leaving only the handles and spout exposed.

At the time this was a completely new concept, but Jacobsen realized that this idea combined with his functional 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 former assistants, and later on the design department of Aarhus Arkitekterne A/S along with VOLA Director Carsten Overgaard continue to introduce new products into the world of the famous VOLA range.

Thus establishing VOLA as an international brand whilst keeping the original principles of excellent design and functionality.
