The Vipp story began in 1931 when 17-year-old Holger Nielsen wins a car. Holger doesn't have a driving license, and  decides to sell the car and buy a metal lathe. By 1939, Holger has a metel shop and marries Marie Axelsen. Marie, a trained hairdresser, opens a hair salon and asked Holger to furnish it with a garbage cans.  Holger designs and makes the first Vipp pedal waste bin. Marie’s customers were wives of doctors and dentists who found the bin’s sturdy and practical design perfect for their husbands’ practices. Consequently, the Vipp trash can became a permanent feature of Danish clinics and found its way into the market place.
“Good design never goes out of fashion”, Holger used to say. Time has proven him right; the Vipp bin has only been marginally improved since 1939. Today the bin is internationally recognized as a design classic, and in November 2009 it was accepted into the architecture and design collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Currently, Morten Bo Jensen is the creative mind behind the new Vipp products, bringing the 70 year old company into the future. “Functionality and a distinctive idiom based on high quality materials and special manufacturing processes are the pillars of Vipp DNA and represents the common thread between past, present and future products,” explains Morten Bo, “But our aim is also to develop products, which are better than what's already available on the market. It is not just about developing something that is new or different, for that reason alone…We combine elements like these with our distinctive designs and materials that together and express a VIPP product with a strong DNA."
