VOLA launched its built-in modular heated towel rail for individual design solutions in
March 2009, a modular system of bars that could be positioned according to customer
requirements.

In line with the VOLA trademark style, the new towel warmer is a built-in unit where all the
technical units are hidden behind the wall. It is designed as a flexible system of bars which
can be combined in number and location as to fit any given interior design or tiles
arrangement. This concept allows maximum freedom and provides a perfect design
solution for any modern bathroom.

Each built-in unit is produced according the wishes of each single customer and shipped
from the VOLA factory in Denmark within few days. So once again VOLA is taking the lead
when it comes to integrating design and function with production and logistics.
The VOLA towel warmer is designed by Aarhus Arkitekterne A/S. www.aa-a.dk;


The VOLA towel warmer comes in high polished chrome, brushed chrome and brushed
stainless steel.

The new freestanding shower system FS3 with thermostat was also launched in March
2009. It embodies the VOLA character in its purest form; concise, slender, sculptured
design. It is distinguished by its modern and geometrical shape, which is sure to inspire all
purist VOLA followers, In its function the new FS3 mimics natural rain fall but unlike nature,
the intensity and temperature of the curtains of water can be easily adjusted.
