VL45 Radiohus Pendant by Louis Poulsen
In 2016 the Radiohus Pendant made a comeback under the name of VL45 Radiohus Pendant. It was originally designed in the 1940s by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen in partnership with Louis Poulsen for the construction of the Radiohuset building (the Danish broadcasting house) in Copenhagen. The pendant features the original design, with a brass suspension as well as a shade of three layers of handblown glass. The innermost and outermost layers are made of transparent polished glass, while white glass is used for the intermediate layer.
In 2019, the two existing sizes were complemented with a smaller size, to open up the possibilities for an even wider variety of usage and arrangements.
The fixture provides uniform, general and diffuse illumination. The opening at the bottom of the glass produces downwards directed light. The quality of the glass ensures that the fixture is evenly lit.
The Large version is also available with dimming options through this link.
