VL45 250 Pendant

The fixture provides uniform, general and diffuse illumination. The opening at the bottom of the glass produces downwards directed light. The quality of the glas sensures that the fixture is evenly lit.

In 2016 the Radiohus Pendant made a comeback under the name of VL45 Radiohus Pendant.

It was originally designed in the 1940s by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen in partnership with Louis Poulsen for the construction of the Radiohuset building (the Danish broadcasting house) in Copenhagen.

Designer

Louis Poulsen was established in Copenhagen in 1874, and its story began with the introduction of fine wines to the Danish market. By 1892 its focus had shifted towards lighting, and in 1924 its collaboration with Poul Henningsen began, followed by Arne Jacobsen in 1960 and later Verner Panton. Its collection spans pendants and ceiling lamps, floor, table and wall lamps, and outdoor lighting.

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.
