An architectural masterpiece of Danish lighting design
Originally designed in the late 1930s by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for the iconic Radiohuset building, the VL 45 Radiohus pendant began as a desk lamp before becoming a timeless piece in Louis Poulsen’s lighting collection. Its elegant lines and functional simplicity make it ideal for modern interiors.
Soft light, ideal for ambient spaces
The pendant features a triple-layered blown glass shade, polished on the outside and sandblasted on the inside, to deliver a warm and uniform glow. Its open-bottom design softly directs light downward, making it perfect above dining tables, counters or as accent lighting.
Generous proportions and timeless elegance
With its 25 cm diameter and 32.8 cm height, the large version of the VL 45 brings presence and finesse to any interior. The untreated brushed brass suspension adds a unique touch that evolves over time. Its 4.4-meter white fabric cord provides flexibility in placement.
Perfect for statement installations
Whether used solo over a table, grouped in a hallway or arranged in clusters in a stairwell, this pendant creates a harmonious and refined lighting effect. Its timeless character makes it compatible with both classic and contemporary design schemes.

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.
