The VL Ring Crown family derives from a lamp designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for the Danish
broadcasting house in Copenhagen in the 1940s.
The wall lamp and pendant versions, with the characteristic organic form, were put to good use at the Danish
broadcasting house. For this project Vilhelm Lauritzen also created the VL38 and VL45 lamps. The original
VL Ring Crown never appeared there, but not long after, a Ring Crown based on the original drawings was
launched. In 1947, the designer Finn Juhl, who worked for Vilhelm Lauritzen, used the VL Ring Crown as
part of the interior design for the Danish porcelain manufacturer Bing & Grøndahl in Copenhagen.
