Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894-1984) designed the VLA62 mirror for the Radio House’s royal lounge, which served as a checkroom connected to the royal lodge.
This royal dressing room is a global work of art, with all its furniture specially designed by Lauritzen.
Available for the first time thanks to Carl Hansen, the Radio House mirror is a 175 cm high mirror.
Its style is highly representative of Vilhelm Lauritzen's work for the Radio House, with a solid oak frame organically framing the mirror.
The frame is assembled with the utmost precision to ensure continuity of grain. The surface is then delicately hand-sanded to a perfect finish.

Vilhelm Lauritzen
Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894-1984) is one of the most important architects in Danish history, and a leading figure in Danish functionalism. Several of his buildings - the Nørrebro theater (1931-32), the Daells Varehus department store (1928-35), Radiohuset (1936-41) and the first airport built in Kastrup (1937-39) - represented the concentrated essence of contemporary life. Other important buildings from Lauritzen's drawing board include Folkets Hus (1953-56), better known today as the Vega Concert Hall, the Shellhuset building (1950-51) and the Danish Embassy in Washington (1958-60). In particular, the Radiohuset building and the first version of Kastrup airport - both listed today - are considered unrivalled monuments of modernism in the European construction genre.
Throughout his life, Vilhelm Lauritzen adhered to the principle that architecture is an applied art - emphasizing both “art” and “applied”. “No life without aesthetics” was another of Vilhelm Lauritzen's deeply held convictions.
