A design icon born from Danish functionalism
Designed in the 1930s by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for the iconic Danish Broadcasting House (Radiohuset), the VL 45 Radiohus pendant was originally a desk lamp before becoming a timeless interior staple. Crafted in partnership with Louis Poulsen, it reflects the essence of Scandinavian minimalism.
Soft, diffused and downward-directed light
Made of triple-layered mouth-blown glass, polished on the outside and sandblasted on the inside, the pendant emits a pleasant, glare-free glow. The lower glass opening gently directs the beam downward, making it ideal for task lighting or soft ambient light in a cozy space.
Authentic materials and natural patina
With a compact diameter of 17.5 cm and a height of 24.6 cm, this small version is both discreet and impactful. Its untreated brushed brass suspension develops a unique patina over time, while the 4.4-meter white fabric cord adds flexibility to your lighting installation.
Refined and versatile interior lighting
Whether used solo or in a cluster, over a table or kitchen island, the VL 45 enhances every space with timeless elegance and warm light. Its harmonious design makes it suitable for modern or classic interiors alike.

Louis Poulsen, a brand synonymous with excellence and innovation in the world of modern Danish lighting, has paved its way since its inception in 1874. What began as a humble wine import business has transformed into a beacon of bright design, establishing standards of functionality, comfort, and ambiance that today define luxury lighting. The historic partnership with architect Poul Henningsen in 1924 led to revolutionary creations like the Paris lamp, laying the foundations for functional and aesthetic lighting design.
With iconic pieces such as the Artichoke PH lamp, designed by Henningsen in 1958, and Arne Jacobsen's AJ series, Louis Poulsen has asserted itself as a benchmark in innovation and timeless design. The Panthella collection, AJ Floor lamp, and the PH series, particularly the PH 5 also created in 1958, are among the brand's best-sellers, reflecting a commitment to excellence and functionality. These iconic designs continue to charm with their ability to create a warm and welcoming ambiance, while serving as timeless art objects.
