Sometimes winning the lottery leads to more than just temporary excitement. When Vipp founder Holger Nielsen won a car on his ticket to the local soccer stadium in 1932 it was the beginning of Vipp. He just did not know it. He sold the car, bought a metal press and few years later, when his wife Marie needed a bin for her hairdressing salon, he went to his one-man workshop and crafted what today is known as the Vipp pedal bin. Holger could not have imagined that the pedal-controlled bin he designed in 1939 would eventually sow the seed for a full-blown design universe of accessories, furniture and kitchens. Nor that his bin would be a catalyst for a design hotel concept.Vipp is still a family-owned, independent, Danish design company run by Holger’s daughter, Jette Egelund, her two children Kasper and Sofie together with 55 employees in Copenhagen, Denmark. Whether it is developing a bin, rethinking the modular kitchen, creating a furniture line or hosting the Vipp Hotel, we still measure the quality of products and concepts on their long-term ability to provide an experience out of the ordinary.

TIPTOE founded in 2015 in ParisWe started TIPTOE in 2015 by revisiting a long-standing concept of French design in a modern and colorful way: the modular table leg. With the TIPTOE table leg, we laid the foundations for the development of a broader range of beautiful, timeless, useful and durable products. Our product philosophy is that every TIPTOE piece of furniture must be well-designed, well-made in Europe and built-to-last.We see TIPTOE as a young brand walking in the footsteps of a line of French designers who marked the history of furniture with their free and “avant-garde” vision. The first concept of modular table legs using a clamp emerged in 1972; French designer François Arnal designed the “serre-joint T9” table leg. In 1982, Philippe Starck revisited the concept. In the 2000’s, Philippe Nigro offered his own vision of the system when he designed the T.U. table.2021 : TIPTOE is now officially a purpose-driven companyThis means that our environmental commitment is written into the company’s articles of association.
