Vilhelm Wohlert

Vilhelm Wohlert (1920-2007) was a Danish architect and designer known for his refined sense of proportion, structure, and light. Trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Kaare Klint, Wohlert later became a professor there and helped shape generations of Scandinavian modernists. Together with Jorgen Bo, he created the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, a landmark of modern Danish architecture that demonstrates his belief in harmony between building, light, and landscape. His lighting designs for Louis Poulsen and others share the same quiet rigor and balance, using simple geometry and honest materials to enhance atmosphere and architectural clarity.
