Danish lighting brand Louis Poulsen has introduced the VL 45 Radiohus Portable Lamp, a modern adaptation of architect Vilhelm Lauritzen’s iconic VL 45 Radiohus Pendant from the 1930s. Designed for versatility, the lamp merges classic aesthetics with contemporary functionality, offering a refined lighting solution for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Timeless Design with Modern Adaptations
The VL 45 Radiohus Portable Lamp retains the elegance of its predecessor, featuring the same signature shades and brass details. However, this updated version includes a brass base and a leather strap for added portability. Unlike the original pendant, this lamp is designed for outdoor use, making it an ideal choice for balconies and gardens. With a rain-resistant build, it provides up to five hours of continuous illumination, ensuring a cozy ambiance wherever it’s placed.
Seamless Indoor and Outdoor Functionality
Indoors, the lamp complements other Vilhelm Lauritzen designs while offering easy portability between rooms. Its 360-degree, glare-free illumination makes it perfect for living spaces, bedrooms, and children’s rooms. Additionally, its warm glow enhances the atmosphere in restaurants and hotels, making it a stylish addition to any décor.
Premium Craftsmanship and Smart Features
Crafted from glossy, mouth-blown, multi-layered glass, the lamp boasts brass details available in both hairline and lacquered finishes. Unlike untreated brass, these finishes prevent patination over time, preserving its polished appearance. The lamp also includes advanced dimming technology, allowing users to adjust brightness by simply touching the brass top. This feature ensures seamless synchronization across multiple lamps or manual brightness control for a personalized lighting experience.
Availability and Pricing
The VL 45 Radiohus Portable Lamp is available in three elegant shades—Opal White, Pale Rose, and Pale Yellow. It is now available for purchase through Louis Poulsen for $680 USD.
