Boasting an elegant, minimalist design, the delicate pendant light embodies a sophisticated expression of timeless elegance; adding a touch of splendour and beauty to a contemporary interior space. With a beautifully organic, curvaceous structure, a soft opal shade, crafted from three-layers of mouth-blown glass, has been united with an untreated brass frame, a stunning finish that can complement an array of differently styled interiors. Producing soft glare-free light, the inviting pendant is perfect for hanging low over a coffee or dining table, or high in a living or bedroom space. Part of the Louis Poulsen VL Ring Crown collection.
Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) was one of the most significant architects in the history of Denmark; he was the trail-blazing figurehead of Danish functionalism. A number of his buildings – Nørrebro Theatre, Daells Varehus department store, Radiohuset and the first airport built in Kastrup – represented the concentrated essence of contemporary life. Other significant buildings to stem from Lauritzen’s drawing board include Folkets Hus better known today as the Vega concert venue, the Shellhuset building and the Danish embassy in Washington.
Throughout his life, Vilhelm Lauritzen adhered to the principle that architecture is applied art – with equal emphasis on both ‘art’ and ‘applied’. “No life without aesthetics” was another one of Vilhelm Lauritzen’s firmly held beliefs.
