The VL38 family is born of functionalism. The light head is organically shaped, painted white and obliquely angled. The light arm, which is made of brass, features a small hinge on top to allow minute adjustment of the light head. The luminaire provides accurate downward light, making it ideal for use as a work light or as more general illumination. The VL38 table lamp was originally designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen in partnership with Louis Poulsen for the construction of the Radiohuset building on Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, which is now home to the Royal Danish Academy of Music. Louis Poulsen will be relaunching the lamp that was originally designed specifically for the Radiohuset building in Copenhagen. The new model will be launched under the name of VL38 Table Lamp, and Louis Poulsen will be introducing it as part of a series that also features VL38 wall and floor lamps. Vilhelm Lauritzen, one of the most prominent architects of the modernist and functionalist movements, designed the Radiohuset building and he also created all the light fittings for the project in partnership with Louis Poulsen. The VL38 Table Lamp was originally used in the radio studios in the building. The VL38 family is being launched in its original design, where the lamp head is organically shaped, painted white and obliquely angled. The arms of the light fittings are made of brass, and all the lamps have been fitted with LED light sources to accommodate contemporary advances in light technology and energy efficiency.
I love the sleek, contemporary look of the VL38 wall light; its combination of brass and aluminium offers a refined, luxurious feel without being overly formal. It works particularly well in minimal or Scandinavian-inspired interiors where clean lines and muted palettes are key, but it can also serve as a striking detail in eclectic or mid-century modern spaces. For practical styling tips, consider placing it above bedside tables, near reading nooks, or alongside artwork to create focused lighting. Its subtle gold accents add warmth and depth, making it a versatile piece that elevates both residential and commercial interiors.
