In 2016, the Radiohus Pendant suspension made a comeback as VL45 Radiohus Pendant. It had been designed in the 1940s by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen in partnership with Louis Poulsen for the construction of Copenhagen's Radio House (Radiohuset). The suspension lamp respects the original design, with a brass support and a shade made from three layers of blown glass. The outer and inner layers are made of transparent polished glass, while the middle layer is made of white glass. The luminaire provides even, diffused light.
Danish brand Louis Poulsen was founded in 1874, originating from traditional Scandinavian design where form follows function. Louis Poulsen became the owner of the company in 1906 after the death of his uncle, Ludvig R. Poulsen. Louis Poulsen’s approach to architectural development began when he collaborated with one of the world’s leading lighting designers, Poul Henningsen. In 1924, the designer began collaborating with Louis Poulsen lighting; their objective was to take part in the "International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts". In 1925 the collaboration proved successful and the Poul Henningsen lamps won the gold medal. Following this victory, the two men marketed their products in France, England and Denmark.
