VL Studio Table/Floor Lamp

$1,345.00

The fixture emits a diffused, glare-free light. The triple-layered opal glass provides a comfortable light distribution and radiates a pleasantly delicate glow to its surroundings.

The VL Studio family originates from a lamp designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for Radiohuset in Copenhagen in the 1940s. Named "Studio," these lamps indicated recording status with red or green lights. Lauritzen, the architect of Radiohuset, collaborated with Louis Poulsen to design a range of lamps including the Studio lamp, VL 38 Table lamp (VL38), Radiohus Pendant (VL45), and VL Ring Crown lamps.

Originally produced in the 1940s, these lamps were later discontinued but reintroduced by Louis Poulsen: VL45 in 2016, VL38 in 2016, VL Ring Crown in 2019, and VL Studio lamp in 2022. The VL Studio lamp and Radiohus Pendant feature opaline glass for diffused lighting.

Introduced in 2022, the VL Studio Table/Floor lamp reflects the original wall lamp's design with polished brass and mouth-blown opal glass. It comes in polished brass and matte-black versions in three sizes: 150 mm, 250 mm (ideal for tables), and 320 mm (suitable for both tables and floors). This lamp combines a modern aesthetic with warm ambiance for any interior.

Designer

Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) was a pioneering Danish architect and a key figure in functionalism, known for iconic buildings like Nørrebro Theatre, Radiohuset, and Kastrup Airport. His architectural philosophy centered on the belief that architecture is applied art and essential to life, which he demonstrated through his masterful use of both daylight and artificial lighting. Lauritzen's light fixtures, beginning with the Universal pendant in the late 1920s, combined directed light with diffuse illumination, and many of his designs became part of Louis Poulsen’s collection in the mid-20th century.

Brand

Established in 1874 as a lighting manufacturer, Louis Poulsen has become one of the world's leading producers of lighting. This success is attributed to collaborations with renowned designers and architects like Arne Jacobsen, Øivind Slaatto, Poul Henningsen, and Verner Panton.
