The VL Studio family derives from a lamp designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for Radiohuset (The Radio House, headquarters of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation) in Copenhagen in the 1940s. The name "Studio" was chosen because some of the lamps were used outside the studio to indicate—with either a red or green light—whether recording was taking place. Lauritzen was the architect behind Radiohuset, a functionalist design, which was inaugurated in 1945. Radiohuset is a "gesamtkunstwerk"—like most of Lauritzen's buildings—meaning that he designed all of the interiors and every detail of the building. When developing Radiohuset, Lauritzen designed a broad collection of lamps in close collaboration with Louis Poulsen.
