Louis Poulsen Vl Studio Table/ Floor 32 cm brass

The VL Studio family has its origins in a lamp designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for Radiohuset (The Radio House, the headquarters of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation) in Copenhagen in the 1940s. The name "Studio" was chosen because some of the lamps were used outside the studio to indicate - with a red or green light - whether recording was in progress. Vilhelm Lauritzen was the architect of the Radiohuset, which opened in its functionalist design in 1945. The Radiohuset is a "work of art" like most of Lauritzen's buildings and he designed all the interiors and every last detail for the project. During the Radiohuset, Lauritzen designed an extensive collection of lamps in close collaboration with Louis Poulsen. For this project, Lauritzen created the Studio lamp, the VL 38 table lamp (VL38), the Radiohus pendant (VL45) and the VL Ring Crown lamps. Since their creation in the 1940s, the lamps have been produced by Louis Poulsen. Over the years, all lamps have been discontinued. The VL45 (Radiohus pendant) and VL38 (original table lamp from the building interior) were reintroduced in 2016, the VL Ring Crown in 2019 and most recently the VL Studio lamp in 2022. The VL Studio lamp is closely related to the Radiohus pendant; both create diffused light through opal glass that casts a pleasant glow around the lamp. Based on the design and materials of the original wall lamp's lamp head, the VL Studio table/floor lamp was introduced in 2022. It is made of lightly brushed polished brass with mouth-blown three-layer polished white opal glass. The VL Studio table/floor lamp is also available in a matt black version for a more graphic and clean expression compared to the soft and warm look of the polished brass version. The table lamp series is available in three sizes that can be placed on the floor as floor lamps or as table lamps according to different needs. The small size Ø150 has the same diameter as the original VL Studio wall lamp and can be easily placed anywhere, the medium size Ø250 is perfect as a table lamp and the larger version Ø320 is ideal for table and floor use. The VL Studio table/floor lamp adds a modern touch and a warm atmosphere to any interior with its simple, elegant and refined materials.

Lighting system

The luminaire emits a diffused, glare-free light. The three-layer opal glass distributes the light very comfortably and radiates a pleasantly soft glow to the surroundings.
