Story
Vilhelm Lauritzen and the Broadcasting House
Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the lamp that the VL Ring Crown derives from for the Danish Broadcasting House in Copenhagen in the 1940s.
Brass and opal glass
The pendant keeps to the original materials and design, and the VL Ring Crown was reintroduced in 2019: untreated, polished brass with glossy white, triple-layered, hand-blown opal glass.
