Gold Pendant VL56

Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the VL56 Gold Pendant in the 1950s for The People’s House in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. The building, originally conceived and constructed for the Labor Movement opened its doors in 1956. Today, it stands as a venue hosting countless concerts and musical experiences of all kinds, better known as the concert venue Vega. The lamp was specifically crafted for the house's restaurant and to this day it hangs in the concert hall on Enghavevej, casting its beautiful and diffuse light patterns on the delighted guests each evening as they gather for a drink at the concert hall's bar.

Timeless Design Rooted in Danish Design Tradition

The VL56 Gold Pendant is intricately designed for the house along with a plethora of design elements that Vilhelm Lauritzen created for the building. In the development of The People’s House, Vilhelm Lauritzen collaborated with Louis Poulsen to design a broad collection of lamps, which Louis Poulsen continues to produce to this day in several variations. This includes designs from both The People’s House - Vega and DR's old Radio House, which have since transitioned into new and modern versions.
