In 1932, Holger Nielsen won a car on his ticket to the local football stadium, and that was where Vipp began. He just didn’t know it.
He sold the car and bought a metal press, and a few years later, when his wife Marie needed a bin for her salon, he walked into his workshop and made what we now know as the Vipp pedal bin.
Over time, this has expanded to a vast portfolio of tools, kitchens, bathrooms, furnishings, and lamps.
