VL45 Radiohus Pendant Light

The famous Danish functionalist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL 45 Radiohus pendant lamp in the late 1930s as part of his Gesamtkunstwerk, the headquarters of Danish Broadcasting (Radiohuset). The building was inaugurated in 1945, shortly after the end of World War II. Lauritzen designed the pendant lamp and all other lighting fixtures for Radiohuset in collaboration with Louis Poulsen. Originally, the pendant lamp was called “The Office Lamp.” It features a shiny, three-layer shade made of mouth-blown glass with details in untreated brass. To this day, the design is characterized by its excellent lighting properties and understated luxury. The beautiful variations of the original opal white version in Pale Rose, Pale Yellow, and Amber fit well with today's interior design trends.
