The VL45 Radiohus Pendant from Louis Poulsen is a smooth, striking example of retro-modern design. Originally designed in the 1940s by Vilhelm Lauritzen for the Radiohuset building in Copenhagen, its lantern shape is smooth and crisply rendered from hand-blown glass, casting a glowing light from its center that is both functional and beautiful to witness. The glass is topped with a brushed brass tube, adding a bold nice metallic accent to the warmth cast through the translucent opal glass.

Zoe★★★★★
The shade sits perfectly flush against the ceiling, and the way it diffuses light makes the whole room feel softer without any glare. It’s heavier than I expected, but that solidity actually gives it a premium feel once it’s up.
Evelyn R.★★★★★
The light it casts has this warm, even glow that completely transforms my dining corner. The retro-modern shape from the 1940s looks even better in person, and the way the glass diffuses the bulb is exactly what I hoped for.
Sofia U.★★★★★
The glass is beautifully smooth to the touch, and hanging it over our dining table instantly gave the room that 1940s Copenhagen character I wanted. It’s heavier than I expected, but the cord feels sturdy, and the light it throws is just so pleasant to sit under in the evenings.
