What if your bathroom faucet could be more than functional—a statement of timeless design? VOLA faucets, exclusively available in North America through Hastings Bath Collection, are luxury bathroom fixtures defined by Danish minimalism, enduring craftsmanship, and extraordinary design flexibility. Handcrafted in Denmark and celebrated for their refined architectural forms, modular configurations, and extensive range of finishes, VOLA offers homeowners, interior designers, and architects the freedom to create highly personalized spaces without compromising long-term performance.
Rooted in Arne Jacobsen’s iconic 1968 design, VOLA brings artistry and longevity into everyday living. Its enduring design legacy, material integrity, thoughtful production, and commitment to repairability have allowed VOLA faucets to remain as relevant in modern luxury interiors today as they were more than five decades ago.
In 1968, visionary architect Arne Jacobsen designed the first VOLA faucet, revolutionizing bathroom design by concealing mechanics and leaving only the handles visible and spout exposed. The concept originated with Verner Overgaard, who brought Jacobsen the proposal for this new type of wall-mounted mixer. As Jacobsen’s design language evolved, earlier curves gave way to a refined interplay of circular and cylindrical forms that would become synonymous with VOLA.
This radical simplicity became a cornerstone of modern minimalism and has remained largely unchanged for more than 50 years. Today, VOLA designs are displayed in the permanent collections of MoMA and Designmuseum Denmark—an enduring testament to their cultural significance and a landmark in design history recognized around the world, that has been widely imitated but never matched.
Unlike mass-produced faucets, every VOLA faucet is made to order in Denmark by skilled artisans. Each piece reflects exceptional craftsmanship, precision engineering, expressed through the refined cylindrical forms and clean lines that give VOLA its distinctive architectural precision, timeless aesthetic, and enduring design integrity. This approach means every faucet is not only a functional piece, but a piece of design history and a work of art—crafted to endure for decades.
Lifetime Cartridge Guarantee: A commitment to lasting performance.
Modular Replacement Parts: Even a 30-year-old VOLA faucet can be serviced with ease.
Artisanal Finishes: Every finish is curated with VOLA’s unwavering attention to detail, across faucets and mixers, from polished chrome to enduring surfaces designed for longevity and enduring design.
This dedication to crafting long-lasting beauty turns a faucet from just another bathroom necessity into an heirloom.
VOLA's modular design framework allows homeowners and designers to configure faucets that seamlessly align with individual visions, with components designed to be combined in different ways to suit individual needs. From spout lengths to handle types, wall-mounted installations to hands-free sensor-activated faucets, the options are very nearly limitless, and the system extends across coordinated VOLA bathroom accessories.
With 27 finishes, VOLA makes personalization seamless, offering ample design inspiration for styling a VOLA faucet. Color has been part of the VOLA story from the beginning, with early offerings in grey and orange evolving into today’s expansive palette of matte finishes, brushed metallics, and bold powder-coated hues, reflecting VOLA’s pioneering use of color in faucet design. The newly introduced matte white further expands the possibilities, offering even greater freedom to create a bathroom that feels distinctly personal.
A VOLA faucet is a high-end fixture and a lifestyle choice that brings form and function into modern living. Each piece blends exquisite artistry with dependable, everyday functionality:
Minimalist Geometry complements spa-like bathroom environments while integrating seamlessly with contemporary architecture.
Sensor Technology merges everyday convenience with design elegance, while thoughtfully composed VOLA fixtures, faucets, and accessories bring a cohesive visual language to the space.
Adaptability creates a cohesive design language across bathrooms and kitchens with modern VOLA faucets, from private residences to luxury hospitality environments.
By striking this balance between enduring design and everyday function, VOLA faucets remain just as relevant in today’s interiors as they were at their debut.
For VOLA, design excellence is inseparable from thoughtful production—an approach that pairs clean lines and lasting beauty with a commitment to longevity, repairability, and responsible use of materials.
Metal waste shavings are recycled during manufacturing.
Modular parts reduce waste by allowing repair over replacement, and even concealed mechanical parts can be serviced through the system, extending to luxury VOLA shower systems that can be tailored over time.
VOLA faucets reduce water consumption through integrated aerators and eco-friendly flow rates.
Industry certifications (NSF, CSA, LEED, WaterSense) affirm compliance with high standards of safety and performance.
This provides confidence for those investing in bathroom design built for the future
Choosing a VOLA tap means embracing a piece of modern design history—timeless, versatile, and enduring. While other high-end faucets may follow passing trends, VOLA’s Scandinavian design ethos has sustained its relevance for generations. Equally at home in contemporary architecture, spa-like retreats, and luxury hospitality spaces, from iconic residences like the Miles C. Bates House in Palm Springs to modern new-builds, VOLA taps integrate seamlessly across bath and kitchen environments. Coordinated fixtures and accessories extend the same refined design language throughout the space, and luxurious bathroom accessories help create a balance between aesthetic purity and everyday performance.
