Description
The VL38 table lamp was originally designed in the late 1930s by Vilhelm Lauritzen in partnership with Louis Poulsen for the construction of the Radiohuset building (the Danish broadcasting house) in Copenhagen (today the Royal Danish Academy of Music).
Vilhelm Lauritzen’s lamp design, VL38 and the pendant VL45 both designed for Radiohuset, started to appear in Louis Poulsen catalogues after World War 2 in the middle of the 1940s.
Both VL38 White/brass and VL45 were relaunched in fall 2016.
To accommodate contemporary advances in light technology and energy efficiency the fixtures have been fitted with LED.
The black edition of the VL38 has a stronger outline than the original white version, though maintaining the loved retro look and the soft, curvy expression of the original design.
