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 chrome 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.

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.
