An exceptional example of Danish functionalist lighting, this Kastrup Airport wall lamp was originally designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen for Copenhagen’s Kastrup Airport in the mid-1930s and produced by Louis Poulsen. Lauritzen’s lighting was conceived as an integral part of architectural space, prioritising clear, comfortable illumination, a principle clearly reflected in this robust, beautifully engineered lamp.
The design features a broad, concave painted metal reflector paired with a white opaline glass diffuser, delivering soft, glare-free light suited to both public and residential interiors. The generous scale and pared-back expression epitomise early Danish modern lighting — timeless, utilitarian and refined.
This rare light fixture, from an important chapter in Scandinavian design history, bridges architectural heritage and everyday functionality, making it a standout addition to any design collection. Comes with partly original installation instruction, see photo. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
