VL Ring Crown Table Lamp
Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL Ring Crown in the 1940s for the Danish Broadcasting House in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most celebrated functionalist buildings. The lamp was never incidental to that interior. It was conceived as architecture at the scale of a table, its proportions and materials held to the same discipline as the building itself.
Louis Poulsen continues to produce the lamp in Denmark, faithful to Lauritzen's original drawings. The shade is mouth-blown opal glass in three fused layers, a construction that diffuses light evenly and eliminates glare without filtering warmth. Light falls primarily downward, pooling with quiet intention rather than broadcasting into a room.
The frame is untreated satin polished brass. It will not stay as it arrives. Over years of use, the surface shifts, deepening in tone, recording the particular atmosphere of the space it inhabits. That change is not a flaw in the design. It is the design.
- Mouth-blown, triple-layered opal glass shade
- Untreated satin polished brass frame
- Primarily downward light distribution
- Designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen, 1940s
- Produced in Denmark by Louis Poulsen
