Louis Poulsen Vl38 table lamp white bedside table

The VL Ring Crown series originates from the design of a 1940s lamp by architect Vilhelm Lauritezen for the Danish Broadcasting House in Copenhagen. The wall-mounted and suspended versions, with their characteristic organic shape, were installed at the Danish Broadcasting House. For this project Vilhelm Lauritzen also created the VL38 and VL45 lamps. The original VL Ring Crown was never used, but not long after, a Ring Crown was released that took inspiration from the original designs. In 1947, designer Finn Juhl, who worked for Vilhelm Lauritzen, used the VL Ring Crown as part of the interior design for the Danish porcelain manufacturer Bing & Grøndahl in Copenhagen. True to the original design and materials, the VL Ring Crown was reintroduced in 2019. It is made of untreated polished brass and is available in three, five or seven-shade versions of three-layer polished white mouth-blown opaline glass. It was joined by the wall lamps and pendants originally installed by the Danish Broadcasting House. The VL Ring Crown family gives an authentic and distinctive touch to the most elegant interiors in the world, as well as diffusing a warm light to delicately illuminate contemporary life.

System of lighting

The wall lamp emits light directed mainly downwards. The opal glass makes the lighting of the area around the luminaire comfortable and uniform.

VILHELM LAURITZEN

Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894-1984) is one of the most significant; he was the pioneer of Danish functionalism. Many of its buildings, including the Nørrebro theater, the Daells Varehus department store, the Radiohuset and the first airport built in Kastrup, represented the concentrated essence of contemporary life.
