The VL38 Wall Lamp: Retro Flair with a Contemporary Touch
The VL38 wall lamp by Louis Poulsen is an elegant reinterpretation of the original VL38 table lamp, designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen in the 1930s. This iconic creation, developed for the Radio House in Copenhagen, blends classic design with modern innovations. Reintroduced in a white/brass version in 2016 and a black version in 2017, the VL38 maintains its retro aesthetic while adapting to today’s demands for performance and energy efficiency.
Precise and Comfortable Lighting
The VL38 is designed to provide downward-directed lighting, ideal for creating a warm and cozy atmosphere in your interior spaces. The shade, painted white on the inside, ensures soft light diffusion, minimizing glare while enhancing visual comfort. The angle of the shade is adjustable, allowing you to optimize light distribution according to your specific needs.
Materials and Design Details
With a surface finished in white powder coating and brass, the VL38 presents a harmonious blend of materials. The backplate and shade are made of aluminum, while the arm is crafted from brass, adding a touch of sophistication. The untreated brass surface evolves over time, developing a unique patina that enriches the character of the lamp. Equipped with an integrated 9.6W LED light source, it produces 2700K light with a 416-lumen output, combining design with energy performance.
Advanced Features for Simplified Use
The lamp comes with a 3.3-meter white plastic cable and a wall switch with a two-position dimmer. It also includes a timer function that allows for automatic shutoff after 4 or 8 hours, offering added convenience. The LED driver is integrated into the backplate, ensuring a clean installation and hassle-free operation.
A Lamp that Blends Tradition and Modernity
The VL38 wall lamp is perfect for those who seek a luminaire with timeless design while enjoying the benefits of modern technologies. Whether for a classic or contemporary interior, the VL38 adds a touch of elegance and functionality.
