VL 56 Pendant Lamp by Vilhelm Lauritzen - Louis Poulsen: Classic and Elegant Lighting
The VL 56 Pendant Lamp, designed by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen in the 1950s for Folkets Hus in Copenhagen, is a classic piece of pendant lighting. Originally installed above the wood-paneled bar next to the main Vega concert hall, it is renowned for its glare-free, downward-directed light and perforated pattern that creates delicate shadows. The suspension measures Ø 177 mm x H 112 mm and is available in gold finishes, with a white textile cable. In 2023, Louis Poulsen has reintroduced this iconic lamp in chrome and brass versions, with slight adjustments and improvements to suit contemporary interiors.
