Louis Poulsen
VL 56 pendant

Description

Louis Poulsen's VL 56 pendant is the shining queen of the ceiling, designed by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen. Known as one of the greatest designers of modernism and functionalism, Lauritzen created the elegant pendant originally for the Vesterbro People's Hall in Copenhagen, now known as the Vega Concert Hall. Louis Poulsen added the charming VL 56 to its range in 2023, to the delight of all design lovers.

The VL 56 pendant gets its prestigious, almost aristocratic character from its shiny, polished brass finish. The pendant directs glare-free light directly downwards, and the little holes on the lower part of the shade add to the atmosphere gently filtering light through small holes. The VL 56 pendant is an eye-catcher both on its own and as a glowing cluster of several luminaires.

Notes
Please note the untreated brass will patinate. Therefore, as soon as you open the packaging, you may notice areas of the polished surface which might have already developed a patina. If you prefer not to have a patina, it can be removed with a polishing agent, so that the
surface appears bright and shiny.
Care instructions
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Remove greasy spots etc. with a soft cloth dampened in
lukewarm water (<50° C) with a mild detergent. Never use detergents containing abrasives and
solvents. Wipe immediately after with a dry cloth.

Vilhelm Lauritzen

Architect and designer Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) was one of the most significant Danish architects of his era and a figurehead of Danish functionalism. Lauritzen’s work is still widely visible in various places around Denmark – the Nørrebro Theatre, Copenhagen’s Daells Varehus and the first terminal of Kastrup Airport are great examples of his modernist style. Lauritzen often designed also the furniture and lighting for his buildings, and some of his best-known design pieces are the Radiohuset lamps, designed for Frederiksberg’s radio building and produced by Louis Poulsen. “No life without aesthetics” was Lauritzens firmly held belief, and he considered architecture as a form of applied art. Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter, founded by Lauritzen in 1922, is nowadays one of the most valued architectural offices of Denmark.
