{"title":"Louis Weisdorf","description":"Danish architect and industrial designer Louis Weisdorf (1932–2021) was a master of geometric lighting and user-guided customization. Graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1954, Weisdorf honed his craft collaborating with legends Poul Henningsen and Verner Panton, inheriting Henningsen’s golden principle of shielding the eye from direct bulb glare from every angle.   \n\nWeisdorf specialized in repetitive, modular elements that dynamically shaped ambient light. In 1967, he unveiled the Turbo pendant for Lyfa, a spiral sphere formed of twelve identical curving aluminum slats. His ultimate masterwork arrived in 1972 with the revolutionary Multi-Lite. Engineered with two rotating quarter-spherical shades encased in an outer metal ring, the luminaire empowers users to manually reposition the reflectors, directing light upwards, downwards, or in asymmetric compositions. Faithfully reissued by GUBI, the Multi-Lite stands as an undisputed mid-century icon.","products":[{"product_id":"multi-lite-pendant-large-finish-brass-soft-black-semi-matt","title":"Multi-Lite Pendant Lamp - Large","description":"The Multi-Lite Pendant embraces the golden era of Danish design with its characteristic shape of two opposing outside, mobile shades that enable creating a personal installation and a wide range of lighting values in a room. By individually rotating the shades, the Multi-Lite Pendant can be transformed into multiple combinations where the light can be directed upwards, downwards or exude an asymmetrical art light. The Multi-Lite was first drawn in 1972 when Louis Weisdorf did an exception to his own design custom of using multiple repeating elements. Instead, it reflects his passion for diversity. Two cylindrical shapes lay the foundation of the lamp and a metal ring encompasses it and anchors the two quarter-spherical shades, which ultimately completes a picture of an iconic design with multiple purposes. The Multi-Lite Pendant has a timeless expression that fits into any domestic setting.","brand":"GUBI","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":49797071143233,"sku":null,"price":3559.79,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4150\/0993\/files\/558827d5-74c2-4d6a-a1fa-bfa037bf573c.webp?v=1793167732"},{"product_id":"multi-lite-portable-lamp-chrome","title":"Multi-Lite Portable Lamp","description":"Bringing further flexibility to one of the most adaptable light designs of the 20th century, GUBI’s new edition of Louis Weisdorf’s sculptural and inventive Multi-Lite design reimagines the unique lamp in a portable format.
