Description
The VL 38 Floor Lamp emits downward directed light. The angle of the shade can be adjusted to optimize light distribution. The shade is painted white on the inside to ensure a soft comfortable light. The VL38 floor lamp is based on the original design of the VL38 table lamp. It was originally designed in the late 1930s for the construction of the Radiohuset building (the Danish broadcasting house) in Copenhagen (today the Royal Danish Academy of Music).VL38 and the pendant, VL45, both designed for Radiohuset, started to appear in Louis Poulsen catalogues after World War 2 in the middle of the 1940s. VL38 in white/brass was relaunched in fall 2016.
Please note that the brass surfaces are untreated. This means that the surface will change over time and develop a patina.
The VL Collection was designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen. Lauritzen is one of the most significant architects in Danish; he was a trail-blazing figurehead of functionalism. A number of his buildings – Nørrebro Theatre, Daells Varehus department store, Radiohuset and the first airport built in Kastrup – represented the concentrated essence of contemporary life.. Lauritzen’s light fixtures combine directed light with a gentle, more diffuse illumination that softens and shades the rooms.
