VL 45 370 Pendant by Louis Poulsen is the largest format in Vilhelm Lauritzen's VL 45 series, originally designed for the Copenhagen Radio House in 1945. The series is defined by its semi-opaque pressed glass shade — a slightly flattened, rounded form that fully shields the light source and produces a wide, even downward and lateral distribution. At 370mm the VL 45 becomes a commanding single pendant suitable for principal positions in dining rooms, living rooms, restaurant main areas and hotel lobbies where a pendant of genuine material quality and historical grounding is the specification intent.
At this diameter the pressed glass shade is a substantial presence — the material depth and translucency of the glass create a notably warm and spatially generous light quality that distinguishes it from lighter acrylic pendants of equivalent size. The VL 45 370 is the appropriate choice when the pendant needs to carry a larger interior volume on its own, delivering meaningful ambient illumination as well as a clear design statement. Its historical association with Lauritzen's Radio House gives it the same kind of quiet authority that the best mid-century Danish design objects possess — present and considered, but not demanding attention.
Architects and interior designers specifying the VL 45 370 will find the DWG drawing and CAD block essential for ceiling coordination and spatial scale assessment. The 3D model and Revit family support BIM documentation; the IFC file enables coordinated delivery. A strong specification for high-quality residential, hospitality and commercial interior projects requiring a generously scaled, historically resolved Danish pendant.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing, 3D model, Revit file and IFC file.
