Why you'll love this table lamp
The Gubi Multi-Lite Table Lamp was designed by Louis Weisdorf and is now produced by Gubi. Originally designed in 1972, the Multi-Lite embraces the golden era of Danish design with its characteristic shape of two opposing outside mobile shades that enable a range of lighting congigurations. By individually rotating the shades the light can be directed up, down or exude an asymmetrical pattern of light. 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. A floor lamp and pendant lights are also available in the range.

Louis Weisdorf
Louis Weisdorf (1932–2021) was a versatile Danish architect and industrial designer. Graduating from Copenhagen's Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1954, he excelled in graphic, interior, architectural, and industrial design.
Weisdorf's career milestone came during his ten-year tenure at Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens, where he collaborated with chief architect Simon P. Henningsen and created the innovative Konkylie ('conch') Lamp in 1964, showcasing vertically-hung concentric slats—a breakthrough in lighting design.
He established his own architectural firm in 1967, collaborating with luminaries like Verner Panton and Poul Henningsen. Weisdorf's exploration of uniform slats for light control continued, exemplified by the award-winning Turbo Pendant in 1967.
In 1972, he conceptualized the Multi-Lite lamp collection, emphasizing user engagement in dynamic design adjustments. Weisdorf's legacy endures through sought-after collector's items, and his Multi-Lite for GUBI is featured in Chloé stores worldwide, affirming his lasting impact on contemporary design.
