The rare set of two original 1'st edition Danish vintage "Radiohuset" (Danish Radio) wall lights were originally designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen and manufactured by Louis Poulsen.

A number of his buildings had a total interior solution - first the airport Kastrup at Copenhagen (1937-39) and after that the radiohuset (1936-41), Folkets hus (1953-56) better known today as Vega, Danish embassy in Washington (1958-60) - all representing the essence of contemporary life and are today considered priceless monuments to european modernism The wall lights with their two white handblown opaline glass shades on a brass frame have been polished and will be rewired according to the specifications in buyers location.
