Guldpendel Pendants in Chrome, Vilhelm Lauritzen for Louis Poulsen, Denmark 1950

About the Item

Modernist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the Guldpendel pendant for Louis Poulsen, Denmark, in 1955. The model was named ''Guldpendel'', danish for ''Golden pendant', as these lamps were mostly produced in brass finish. The lamps for sale here are the chromed version (2 pairs are available). “Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) is one of the most significant architects in the history of Denmark. A number of his buildings – Nørrebro Theatre (1931–32), Daells Varehus department store (1928–35), Radiohuset (1936-41) and the first airport built in Kastrup (1937–39) – represented the concentrated essence of contemporary life. Other significant buildings to stem from Lauritzen’s drawing board include Folkets Hus (1953–56) better known today as the Vega concert venue, the Shellhuset (1950–51) building and the Danish embassy in Washington (1958–60). In particular the Radiohuset building and the earliest version of Kastrup Airport – both listed today – are considered Peerless monuments to modernism in the European genre of construction.” (© Louis Poulsen). Takes E27 fitting bulbs. Works on 220v as well as 110v.
