Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL 45 Radiohus Pendant in the late 1930s as part of his comprehensive artistic vision for Radiohuset (The Radio House).

The building was inaugurated after World War II in 1945, and served as the headquarters of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation for many years. Today, the pendant is as well-known as the building.

Whether suspended above a dining table, coffee table, or tucked into a cosy corner, the VL 45 Radiohus Pendant enhances any space with its beautifully diffused light. Its design is particularly striking when hung in pairs or clusters, creating a well-balanced and harmonious atmosphere.

Available in three sizes, the fixture allows for creative compositions, with different dimensions complementing each other effortlessly.

For tailored inspiration, consider these placements:

Dining room – Centre it above a dining table to create an elegant, glare-free lighting experience.

Living room – Position it as a focal point over a coffee table or lounge area, adding warmth and sophistication.

Kitchen – Install it above a kitchen island for a blend of ambient and functional illumination.
