Louis Poulsen Vl45 Radiohus Suspension lamp 25 cm white

In 2016, the Radiohus pendant was reintroduced as the VL45 Radiohus Pendant. It was originally designed in the 1940s by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen in collaboration with Louis Poulsen for the construction of the Radiohuset building (the headquarters of Danish Radio) in Copenhagen. The lamp features the original design, with a brass suspension and a shade with three levels of mouth-blown glass. The inner and outer levels are made of polished clear glass, while the middle level is made of white glass. In 2019, the two existing sizes were supplemented with a smaller size, for more possibilities of use and distribution.
