Based on the iconic VL 45 Radiohus Pendant Light from the 1930s, this portable version by Louis Poulsen, available in three exquisite colourways, marks the first Lauritzen design crafted for outdoor use. With the same mouth-blown glass shades and brass details as the pendant, it exudes quiet luxury and timeless elegance, seamlessly blending heritage with modernity.
Perfect for indoor and outdoor settings, this versatile lamp can be carried to various locations to create a warm, inviting ambience. Use the premium leather strap to hang it from a hook or tree, adding layers of illumination and depth to your settling place. The discreet touch technology offers both step and step-less dimming, allowing you to tailor the brightness to your mood and atmosphere with ease.
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.
