Pendant lamp

The renowned Danish functionalist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL 45 Radiohus pendant in collaboration with Louis Poulsen in the late 1930s as part of his complete artwork, the Radiohuset (The House of Radio), the headquarters of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, which opened just after the end of World War II in 1945.

Lauritzen designed the pendant lamp and all other lamps for the Radiohuset in collaboration with Louis Poulsen. The pendant was initially the office lamp, which featured a three-layer shiny blown glass with no latticeable details.

Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of lamps based on the complete three-screen system it developed in 1926 to allow unmatched lighting quality for all purposes. Many of its lamp designs include a number that refers to the screen sizes of each lamp.

The PH 3/3 is described as a complete three-screen suspension lamp, characterized by its attractive compact appearance with an upper screen of approximately 30 centimeters, which corresponds to the upper and lower displays in 3:2:1 ratios.

Based on the iconic principle of the PH reflecting system developed by Poul Henningsen in 1926, the PH 1/1 Centenary Edition, originally known as the Bombardeo lighting system, was originally part of Louis Poulsen's catalog from 1933 to the mid-1960s.

ZPoul Henningsen developed the concept of this lighting system so that it could be manufactured in several versions with different arm numbers, each with a set of bright glass displays held by a curved arm to a central core. The three cores are aligned vertically, leaving room for the display sets to be harmoniously displayed. The PHZZZZENADOR1 ZZZZ's external lighting system is designed to provide a smooth and diffuse atmosphere. The PHZZENAD

Poul Henningsen developed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to constant changes in the shape and size of incandescent bulbs, and created a lamp that could be used with any light source. The iconic design is based on the same principles as Henningsen's three-screen system, which ensures that the light is smooth, pleasant and completely anti-glare, making it the perfect dining table lamp. Originally, the PH 5 was equipped with red and blue displays to improve the color of the light, but these were removed in later designs, as modern designs reproduce the three-screen light much more smoothly than in 1958. ...

This lamp design is one of the few created by Finn Juhl (1912-1989), one of Denmark's most renowned architects. Initially designed in 1963, the pendant lamp and table lamp were reintroduced as FJ Elements in 2025, including the original variant in two shades of gray.

The lamp's name comes from the handmade sketches by Finn Juhl, in which the latter described it as composed of elements. The first sketches document the shape, proportions and concept of the direction for a whole series of its frames, and also inform its direction.

The VL 45 Radiohus Suspendida was originally designed by the Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for his complete artwork at the Danish Broadcasting House, also known as the Radiohuset.
The original 1940s design features a brass suspension and a three-layered bleached glass screen bleached in milky white, a classic and elegant combination that was reintroduced by Louis Poulsen in 2016.
The VL 45 Pale Rose Suspendida is a version of this iconic design and features a four-layer bleached rose-colored glass combined with a bleached brass suspension: a single-layer bleached glass screen generates a uniform, uniform lighting direction towards the bottom of the glass panel.

In 1958, Poul Henningsen designed the PH Artichoke for Langelinie Pavilionen, a modernist restaurant in Copenhagen, in which the iconic suspension model continues to inspire guests. Each of the 72 PH Artichoke sheets are carefully hand-assembled into the frame, giving the lamp its distinctive shape, which inspired its name, while ensuring an anti-glowing light from any angle. ...

72 sheets of metal form twelve precise rows of six sheets each to ensure a flawless and unblemished light, regardless of the angle from which this unique suspension lamp is viewed.

The name also refers to its characteristic design, similar to that of an alcachofa, which distributes light both inward and outward and thus provides a resulting lighting that is the most pleasant.

When Poul Henningsen was asked, in 1958, to devise a suspension lamp for the modern Copenhagen restaurant Langelinie Pavlonen, the designer took only three months to alter his design of the lighting environment. The designer had already developed the concept of this c7-300 lighting system, which is known for its high-quality

The PH system was developed to bring households an entirely unshaded surface illumination that was effective and more pleasant in the era when electric lighting began to take over from candlesticks with candles and kerosene lamps, in the late 1920s. However, the first to be conquered by the functional and ultra-modern PH lamp finish were the shops and public bodies. Meanwhile, the light of choice over the tables of most households' dining rooms was the candelabro itself, which went on to provide electricity and silk displays.

Designed and built originally for the Danish labour movement, the building opened its doors in 1956 and is now used as a concert hall under the name Vega. The building is a gesamtkunstwerk, meaning that Lauritzen designed everything in the building, from the pomos of the doors, stairs and power outlets to the furniture and lamps. The VL56 Suspended is one of the lamps that Vilhelm Lauritzen designed for the Vega and, to date, hangs above the wooden bar next to the concert hall. ...

Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of lamps based on its three-screen system developed in 1926, a system with an attractive compact upper display of approximately 50 cm and an unmatched lighting quality for all kinds of needs. Many of its lamp designs have a number that indicates the size of the display of the model in question. The PH 5/5 is described as a full-size suspension lighting system characterized by its attractive compact upper display of approximately 50 cm and a proportion with respect to the mid- and upper-sized displays. Many of its lighting designs have a number that indicates the size of the display of the model in question. ...

This suspension lamp emits a downward-directed light without glare while illuminating its own structure to provide a comfortable and radiant appearance that springs from the heart of it.

Poul Henningsen designed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to the numerous alterations applied to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs by manufacturers of the time, which Henningsen found to be totally absurd light.

The PH 5 fitted with all light sources extracting from any of them a pleasant illumination.

This made the PH 5 such an audacious item that it would end up conforming to the three DISENADOR blue lights that still illuminate today The most of the lighting spaces designed in the upper half of the screen
