Louis Poulsen
VL38 Floor Lamp
Price € 790,00
The VL38 floor lamp was born from the original and iconic style of the homonymous table lamp VL38 designed in the late 1930s by Vilhelm Lauritzen in collaboration with Louis Poulsen for the construction of the Radiohuset building in Copenhagen. Just like the VL45 suspension lamp, also designed for Radiohuset, the VL38 began to be produced in the 1940s, immediately becoming an iconic piece of the company and soon spreading all over the world thanks to its immediate and essential design, perfect for any taste. The original white/brass version of the VL38 was reissued in 2016 with a black version to adapt to the technological standards of its time. The original white finish retains the beloved retro look and "soft and curvy" look of the original design.

Louis Poulsen was born in 1874 with the idea of producing luminous furniture strongly inspired by the tradition of Scandinavian design. A clear and functional trait has therefore inspired the origin of numerous pieces made so that each is able to reflect and support the rhythm of natural light. Every single detail of the Louis Poulsen collections follows a specific purpose and nothing is ever exclusively aesthetic, design and more. A deep bond with craftsmanship makes each piece unique, created almost tailor-made by the hand that orchestrates the final details, orienting a serial production towards the creation of almost unique and impossible to replicate pieces.Read more
Designed by
Vilhelm Lauritzen
The architect Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894-1984) is one of the noble fathers of Danish Modernism. In his projects he personally took care of every detail, including the decorative elements and furnishings, according to a conception according to which architecture had to combine functionality and artistic sense in harmony. Lauritzen loved working with plays of light, equipping his architecture with large transparent windows that flooded the rooms with natural lighting. His accomplishments include some of Copenhagen's most iconic buildings, including the Radiohuset (1938-1945, originally home to national radio, probably his most famous project), City Airport Terminal 2 (1936-1939) and the Vega Cultural Center (1956). The seat of the Danish embassy in Washington also bears his signature. He was also mentored by Finn Juhl, one of the biggest names in the history of Danish design, who worked at his studio for eleven years before launching his own career. In 1969 Lauritzen left the studio he had founded in 1922, immediately after graduating, but his Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter (VLA) remains active to this day and is still the protagonist of major projects. Among the products he conceived that then took the road of mass production were particularly the lamps he had designed for Radiohuset, marketed by Louis Poulsen since the 1940s and still very much appreciated. His furnishings are also reissued by the Carl Hansen & Søn and Menu brands.
