Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Vilhelm Lauritzen, 1956

Designed for Vega, Copenhagen

In the mid-1950s the functionalist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen completed Folkets Hus in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, built for the Danish labour movement and opened in 1956. Today it is Vega, one of the city's best-loved concert venues. Lauritzen treated the building as a total work of art, designing everything from the staircases and door handles to the power sockets, furniture and lighting.

The VL 56 was one of the pendants he created for the building, and it still hangs above the wood-panelled bar next to the concert hall. Louis Poulsen reintroduced it in 2023 in chrome plated and brass versions, with subtle refinements to the original. Its compact size suits a run of pendants over a bar, kitchen island or dining table, or a single light in a hallway or stairwell.

Light is directed downwards, while small perforations around the rim soften the edge of the beam and cast delicate points of light onto the shade and nearby surfaces.

The brass version is left untreated, so it will patinate naturally over time towards a deep golden tone. Along the way it can show darker spots or patches, sometimes even on delivery. This is expected and part of the finish, and the surface evens out as the patina develops.
