Vilhelm Lauritzen
Vilhelm Lauritzen is a key figure in the history of Danish architecture. As a pioneer of Danish functionalism, Lauritzen designed several prominent buildings throughout his career.
Vilhelm Lauritzen understood both natural and artificial light, and he consistently worked diligently to shape light and shadow by strategically placing windows in a building to enhance the experience of its users. He applied the same thoughtfulness and diligence to his lamp designs, combining direct illumination with softer, delicate illumination to create defined shadows and diffuse light, effectively softening and shading spaces.
