The story of Vipp began in 1939, in the small Danish town of Randers, when Marie asked her husband, Holger Nielsen, to create a bin for her new hair salon. Holger, a skilled craftsman with a keen eye for aesthetics, wanted to impress his wife and poured all his talent into creating a pedal bin that was both functional and elegant. The bin, which he named Vipp, was never intended to be sold, but some of Marie’s clients were so impressed by its functionality that they ordered one for their husbands’ medical practices and dental clinics. For many years, the bin was sold exclusively to professionals, until Holger and Marie’s daughter, Jette Egelund, took over the business in the early 1990s and turned the Vipp bin into an international design icon. In recent years, Vipp has exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris and collaborated with several international designers, such as Sir Terence Conran, Christian Lacroix, and Philippe Starck, to create artworks that were auctioned off for charitable causes. Celebrated from the beginning for its functional and aesthetic qualities, the Vipp pedal bin is now considered one of the major pieces of Scandinavian design. Today, Vipp is a well-known brand recognized for its bins and bathroom accessories, but it also produces furniture for the entire home. The brand continues to design home furnishings with the same spirit that made the pedal bin famous: the combination of functionality and aesthetics. Vipp furniture is created according to the principles of Scandinavian design, using high-quality, natural materials.
