Vilhelm Lauritzen

Vilhelm Lauritzen was born in Slagelse, Denmark. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and graduated in 1921. The following year, he founded his own firm, Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter, in 1928 and remained active in the firm until 1969. He received the Academy's Gold Medal in 1926 and during the 1920s created a series of monumental designs in a classicist style that were never realized.

Vilhelm Lauritzen is a key figure in the history of Danish architecture. He was firmly convinced that there is no life without aesthetics. This principle is reflected in all his work, both in his buildings and his lighting fixtures. He also held the view that architecture should be an applied art for everyone, rather than just for a privileged few.
