VL 38 Wall Lamp by Louis Poulsen brings Vilhelm Lauritzen's 1942 Radio House lamp design into a wall-mounted configuration, retaining the semi-opaque opal glass globe shade and restrained metal hardware that define the VL 38 series. Lauritzen designed the original VL 38 family for the Copenhagen Radio House — a building where he controlled every aspect of the interior environment — and the wall version was part of that original conception: a lamp that could provide soft, diffuse ambient light from a wall position with the same clean, functionalist character as the floor and table variants. The opal glass globe provides complete light-source shielding and an even, warm glow from every direction.

Mounted at ambient or task height, the VL 38 Wall Lamp produces a soft sphere of diffuse light that works well in corridors, stairwells, bedrooms and living rooms where wall-mounted ambient lighting is preferable to ceiling-mounted sources. Its compact profile and simple circular shade sit neatly against the wall plane, and the absence of decorative elements means the lamp reads as an architectural component rather than a decorative fixture — appropriate to interiors where restraint and material quality are the primary values. The warm opal glow is particularly effective in hospitality settings where a historically considered, non-intrusive wall lamp is specified.

For architects and interior designers, the VL 38 Wall DWG drawing and CAD block support accurate mounting-height specification and wall-layout coordination. The 3D model and Revit family enable BIM documentation; the IFC file supports coordinated project delivery. A reliable and historically significant specification for residential and hospitality interior projects.

Available as a 2D DWG drawing, 3D model, Revit file and IFC file.
