One of the world's greatest singers, Irish Bono of U2, will now work with Danish design company Vipp, known for its design pedal bins.
Bono will design a Vipp pedal bin which will be auctioned off at a large scale charity event in New York. Danish supermodel Helena Christensen will host this event with Vipp. Apart from hosting the event, Helena Christensen will contribute with designs for Vipp bins herself.
"We are thrilled that Bono has said yes to participating in this. He is a great personality who will help get other artists and designers involved in our event, and this will help raise even more money for the organisations we are supporting", says Steen Breiner, head of PR and communication at Vipp.
Just a short while ago Vipp opened its American headquarters in New York, and this is the reason that the company has decided to arrange a charity event in the city. Helena Christensen who also lives in New York very quickly said yes to hosting the vent. The money raised at the charity auction will be donated to the poor of New York and to children still suffering from the 1986 disaster at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl.
"We are actively involved with these organisations, Foodbank New York and Chernobyl Children's Project International, because they do important work. One out of every seven New Yorker needs support at some point due to the loss of a job and the like. As a local company it is important that we contribute and help here. And, once you have seen the conditions under which the forgotten children of Chernobyl live, it is impossible not to take action. On a commercial level we are obviously also using this as a platform to
how the Americans what a Vipp pedal bin is", says Steen Breiner.
Vipp is currently inviting other personalities to contribute with designs for the charity auction which will take place on September 18th in New York.
