VL Ring Crown Floor Lamp
Best floor lamp for lovers of timeless mid-century Scandinavian design.
The VL Ring Crown Floor Lamp revives a classic mid-20th-century design by Vilhelm Lauritzen. Its polished brass frame supports a three-layer, mouth-blown opal glass shade, which artfully diffuses light. This construction ensures soft, glare-free illumination, directing a gentle pool of light downwards while enveloping the room in a warm glow. Over time, the brass develops a beautiful natural patina, adding character and reinforcing its connection to timeless Scandinavian lighting heritage.

Know before you buy
The brass frame is untreated, meaning it will naturally oxidize and develop a unique patina as it ages. This process adds character and depth to the metal, reflecting the lamp's heritage design.
The VL Ring Crown is designed primarily for ambient, atmospheric lighting rather than focused task lighting. While the opal glass provides a soft, warm glow, the downward-directed light is better suited for creating a cozy mood than for intensive reading.
The shade is made of mouth-blown opal glass, which is delicate. It is best cleaned with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust without leaving streaks or risking damage to the glass surface.
The cord is 126 inches long, providing significant flexibility for placement away from wall outlets. It is designed to be functional and unobtrusive, though you may want to consider cord management if you plan to place the lamp in the center of a room.
The lamp uses an E26 socket, which is a standard base size. We recommend choosing an LED bulb with a warm color temperature to best complement the soft diffusion of the opal glass shade.
