The VL Studio family is based on a lamp designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for Radiohuset, the headquarters of the Danish national broadcasting company in Copenhagen in the 1940s. The name “Studio” was chosen because some of these lamps were used outside the recording studio to indicate, with a red or green light, whether a live broadcast was taking place. Vilhelm Lauritzen was the architect responsible for the functionalist style of Radiohuset, which opened in 1945. Radiohuset is a “total work of art”, as are most of Lauritzen’s buildings, meaning that for this project the architect designed every interior space and every detail of the building. In developing Radiohuset, Lauritzen designed an extensive collection of lamps in close collaboration with Louis Poulsen. For this project, Lauritzen created the Studio lamp, the VL 38 table lamp (VL38), the Radiohus pendant lamp (VL45) and the VL Ring Crown lamps. After these lamps were created in the 1940s, Louis Poulsen took over the production of these lamps. However, over the years, all of them were discontinued. The VL45 (Radiohus Pendant) and the VL38 (table lamp originally taken from inside the building) were reintroduced in 2016, the VL Ring Crown in 2019 and the most recent launch, the VL Studio, was launched again in 2022. The VL Studio lamp is closely related to the Radiohus pendant lamp: both emit a diffuse light through opal glass, providing a pleasant general illumination around the lamp. The VL Studio table/floor lamp, based on the design and materials of the original wall lamp head, was launched in 2022. It is made of polished and lightly brushed brass, with a glossy white shade and triple layer of hand-blown opal glass. The VL Studio table/floor lamp is also available in a matte black version, which provides a cleaner and more graphic expression compared to the soft and warm look of the polished brass version. This series of table lamps is available in three sizes that, depending on the needs, can be used as floor lamps, placed on the floor, or as table lamps. The small size of Ø 150 has the same diameter as the original VL Studio wall lamp and can easily be placed anywhere, the medium size of Ø 250 is ideal as a table lamp, and the larger version of Ø 320 is perfect for both table and floor use. The VL Studio table/floor lamp brings a modern touch and a warm atmosphere to any interior space thanks to its simple aesthetics and exquisite materials.
