You knew what it really means “Kobold”?

Behind the iconic design and legendary efficiency of our favorite domestic ally lies a fascinating story that dates back to 1929.

We often ask ourselves: Why exactly that name?

German origins

The name Kobold derives from Germanic folklore. In German mythology, i Goblins they are domestic spirits (often described as goblins or gnomes) who live in homes.

​According to legend, these little helpers are extremely hardworking and loyal: during the night, they help families arrange and clean the house, making dirt disappear and bringing order to the home.

Vorwerk's vision

​When engineer Engelbert Korrodi designed the first portable vacuum cleaner for Vorwerk, he was looking for a name that evoked exactly this figure:

  • ​Small and handy: Just like the spirit of the legend.
  • ​Tireless: Capable of “magic” against the most stubborn dirt.
  • ​A house keeper: A silent companion who takes care of the environment we live in.

Like this, the first model (il “Model 30”) it wasn't just a vacuum cleaner, but the first real one “elf” of the cleanliness that entered the homes of millions of people, revolutionizing the concept of domestic hygiene forever.

​Curiosity: In Italy, the name has become so iconic that it has transformed over time, being affectionately called simply by everyone “The Folletto”. A name that today is synonymous with a promise: that of making cleaning not only effective, but magical.
