mk originates from a totally Italian production reality, in which handcraft experience, technological innovation and design have interacted for forty years, in the continuous search of excellence. The constant orientation to quality and detail have progressively given life to a company that is able to combine the construction knowledge of the traditional woodwork with the innovation and the research proper of the contemporary industry. The handcraft roots, together with a modern industrial structure, extremely flexible and efficent, allow mk to realise kitchens and living spaces in which the quality and the customisation level of the product are very high. The use of hand-worked natural materials and a totally internal production, for each single kitchen, generate therefore the exclusivity of the unique item and of the high quality that is expressed through a rigorous, innovative yet timeless design.
The Vipp story begins one spring Sunday in 1931 when 17-year-old Holger Nielsen wins a car in a lottery at the local football stadium. Holger loves cars but has no driving licence, and he therefore decides to sell the car and invest in a metal lathe. This marks the beginning of Holger’s metal factory where, a few years later, he creates a product that will become famous around the world: the Vipp pedal bin.
The year is 1939 - Holger Nielsen and Marie Axelsen have just married. A trained hairdresser, Marie decides to open her own salon. Money is tight so Marie asks her husband to help furnish the salon with, among other things, a practical rubbish bin. After spending many days labouring in his workshop, Holger is ready to show Marie his Vipp pedal bin – and she is delighted with the result.
Originally, the Vipp bin was intended for Marie only.



Everyone is different. Each of us wants to set ourselves apart, distinct from the rest. To express our individuality and personality. A desire that extends to our kitchens. WARENDORF is also different in this respect. No two kitchens are the same; each is tailored to the individual tastes, preferences and demands of its users. A harmony of shapes and colours. Pioneering quality and technology. WARENDORF has shared these qualities with its satisfied customers since 1973. The WARENDORF kitchens of three personalities on the following pages show the scope and possibilities we can offer.
