Holger Nielsen, a young metal worker crafts a sturdy, pedal-controlled bin for his wife's salon. Over the next 50 years it becomes a permanent object in Danish clinics. Today, still family driven and family owned, Vipp has grown into a large portfolio of industrial design products developed from the functional philosophy of the pedal bin. In 2009, the bin was accepted into the permanent design collection at the MoMA in New York - the only place in the world where the bin is just for decoration.
