1950s VL56″ Lamp in brass / Vilhelm Lauritzen / Louis Poulsen, Denmark

The 1950s VL56 lamp in brass was designed by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for Louis Poulsen. It reflects Lauritzen’s modernist approach, combining functional lighting with sculptural clarity. The warm brass surface enhances its refined, geometric silhouette, characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian design. Created in collaboration with Louis Poulsen, the lamp embodies Lauritzen’s focus on human-centered illumination, architectural simplicity, and enduring material quality. Over time, the brass develops a beautiful patina, enhancing its warm and tactile presence.
