Louis Poulsen Vl Ring Crown 7 chandelier 90 cm white glass

The VL Ring Crown series has its origins in a lamp design created by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for the Danish Broadcasting House in Copenhagen in the 1940s. The floor and pendant versions, with their characteristic organic shape, were installed at the Danish Broadcasting House. Vilhelm Lauritzen also created the VL38 and VL45 lamps for this project. The original VL Ring Crown was never used, but not long after, a Ring Crown was launched that drew 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. The VL Ring Crown is made of polished, untreated brass and is available with three, five or seven shades of three-layer, glossy white mouth-blown opal glass. It has been complemented by the wall lamps and pendants originally installed in the Danish Broadcasting House. The VL Ring Crown family brings an authentic and distinctive touch to the world's most elegant interiors, as well as a warm light to gently illuminate contemporary living.

VILHELM LAURITZEN

Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) was one of the most influential architects in Danish history and a symbol of the avant-garde of Danish functionalism. Some of his buildings, the Nørrebro Theatre (1931–32), the Daells Varehus department store (1928–35), the Radiohuset (1936–41) and the first Kastrup Airport (1937–39), represented the concentrated essence of contemporary life. Other important buildings designed by Lauritzen include the Folkets Hus (1953–56) better known today as the Vega concert hall, the Shellhuset building (1950–51) and the Danish Embassy in Washington (1958–60). In particular, the Radiohuset building and the previous version of Kastrup Airport - both classified as historical buildings - are considered unmistakable monuments of modernism as a European building genre.
