Renowned functionalist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen designed VL 56 Pendant for Folkets Hus in Vesterbro Copenhagen. Originally designed and built for the Danish Labor Movement, the building opened in 1956 and is currently used as a concert hall called Vega. Lauritzen designed everything in the building, from door handles, stairs and electrical outlets to furniture and lamps. The VL 56 Pendant is one of the lamps Vilhelm Lauritzen designed for Vega and to this day hangs above the wood-paneled bar adjacent to the concert hall. Both chrome and brass color variants were relaunched in 2023 with slight adjustments and improvements.
The pendant emits downward-directed, glare-free light. The radial hole pattern around the opening creates a smoother transition between light and dark. The holes create a soft, beautiful light pattern both in the shade and on the surrounding surfaces.
