Pendant lamp VL 45 Radiohus Ø: 37 cm by Louis Poulsen

The famous Danish functionalist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL 45 Radiohus pendant lamp at the end of the 1930s as part of his Gesamtkunstwerk, the headquarters of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (Radiohuset). The building was inaugurated in 1945 - shortly after the end of the Second World War - and Lauritzen designed the pendant luminaire and all other luminaires for Radiohuset in collaboration with Louis Poulsen. The pendant light was originally called "The Office Lamp". It has a shiny, three-layered shade made of mouth-blown glass with details in untreated brass, and the design is still characterized today by its excellent lighting properties and understated luxury. The beautiful versions of the original opal white version in Pale Rose, Pale Yellow and Amber fit in well with today's interior design trends.
