Louis Poulsen - VL Studio Table/Floor Lamp Ø25 cm.

VL Studio table-floor lamp Ø25 cm.

The Radio huset, an important work by Vilhelm Lauritzen, was designed in a highly innovative functionalist style and was put into use in 1945. Like most buildings in Lauritzen, the Radiohuset was a "Gesamtkunstwerk", a total work in which the architect not only designed the building, but also the lights and even the smallest details of the decoration. For the same project , Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL38 , the VL45 and the VL Ring Crown .

The VL Studio reissue uses the original materials. The three-layer diffuser made of polished white opal blown glass emits an extremely comfortable diffused light. The frame is made of lightly brushed polished brass. A matte black version has been added for a more graphic and refined style.

The VL Studio collection is available in three different sizes that can be used on the floor as a floor lamp, or as a table lamp, if needed, as well as a wall lamp.

The smaller version, Ø15 cm, has the same diameter as the original VL Studio Wall Lamp. The size of the intermediate version, Ø250, makes it an ideal table lamp and the larger model, Ø320, is suitable as a table lamp and as a floor lamp.

Materials Three-layer opal blown glass, polished. Body in brushed brass. Brushed brass surface with fine grooves. Please note that the brass surface is untreated, which means that it will evolve over time and acquire a patina.
Light source E27 (Ø25 and 32cm) or 30W G9 (Ø15 cm).

About the designer:

Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894-1984) is one of the most important architects in the history of Denmark; he was the figure of Danish functionalism. Some of his buildings, the Nørrebro Theater (1931-1932), the Daells Varehus department store (1928-1935), the Radio House (Radiohuset, 1936-1941) and the first airport built in Kastrup (1937-1939), represented a concentration of contemporary life. Other important buildings from Vilhelm Lauritzen's drawing board, The Radio House and the first version of Kastrup Airport, which are now on the list,

Throughout his life, Vilhelm Lauritzen remained faithful to the principle that architecture is an applied art, attaching as much importance to the "artistic" as to the "applied" aspect. "No life without aesthetics" was another motto of Vilhelm Lauritzen.
