VIPP Cuisine

It all started as a love story

Sometimes winning the lottery can spark more than just temporary excitement. When Holger Nielsen, founder of Vipp, won a car thanks to his entry at the local football stadium in 1932, it marked the beginning of the Vipp company. He just didn't know it yet. He sold the car, bought a metal press, and a few years later, when his wife Marie needed a trash can for her hair salon, he went to his private workshop and created the now famous Vipp pedal trash can.

Holger could never have imagined that the pedal bin he designed in 1939 would one day give rise to a whole world of designer accessories, furniture, and kitchens. Nor that his bin would be the catalyst for a designer hotel concept.

Vipp remains an independent Danish family business, run by Holger's daughter, Jette Egelund, her two children Kasper and Sofie, and 55 employees in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Whether designing a trash can, rethinking modular kitchens, creating a line of furniture, or running the Vipp hotel, we always measure the quality of products and concepts by their ability to deliver an extraordinary experience over the long term.
