The VL 56 pendant light by Louis Poulsen emits downward directed glare-free light. The radial perforation pattern around the opening creates a softer transition between light and darkness. The perforations create a soft beautiful pattern of light both on the shade and on the surrounding surfaces.

The well-known functionalist architect, Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL 56 Pendant for Folkets Hus, in Vesterbro Copenhagen. Originally designed and built for the Danish Labour Movement, the building opened in 1956 and is now used as a concert hall, called Vega. The VL 56 Pendant is one of the lamps Vilhelm Lauritzen designed for Vega, and to this day it hangs above the wood-panelled bar, adjacent to the concert hall. Both the chrome and brass variants were reintroduced in 2023, with slight adjustments and improvements.

Please note: The brass surface is untreated. This means that the surface will change over time and develop a patina. This process may have already begun when the product is delivered.

Light Source: 1 x Max. 60W E27 bulb (not included) 

Dimmable: Yes (with dimmable bulb)

Materials: Aluminium or Brass
