Story
From the Danish Broadcasting House
The VL Ring Crown family descends from a 1940s lamp by the architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for Copenhagen's Danish Broadcasting House. Wall and pendant versions with this organic form were used in the building, whereas the original Ring Crown itself never appeared there.
Reintroduced in 2019
A Ring Crown based on the original drawings was launched not long after the Broadcasting House project. The family was reintroduced in 2019, true to its original materials and design.
