VL 45 Radiohus: Pendant Light

Description

The VL 45 Radiohus pendant light provides uniform, general and diffused light, with a clear opening at the bottom of the shade allowing for downward illumination. The quality of the three-layer, mouth-blown opal glass ensures that the fixture is evenly lit, creating a soft, consistent glow. A brushed brass pendant fitting complements the glass and, as it is untreated, will develop a patina over time as it reacts to its environment.

The Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL 45 Radiohus: Pendant Light in the late 1930s for Radiohuset, the headquarters of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation. The lamp was created as part of a complete architectural concept, with Lauritzen designing everything from furniture to lighting fixtures in collaboration with Louis Poulsen. Originally referred to as the Office Lamp, the VL 45 featured a combination of polished white glass and brass detailing. It was reintroduced with careful updates to honour the original design.
