Description
The Turbo Pendant Light, by Louis Weisdorf for Gubi, was originally designed in 1965 and has been re-released to critical acclaim. The sculptural powder coated matt white diffuser was inspired by the lightness of Japanese rice paper lamps.
This glowing architectonic gem shields the direct light of the bulb by emitting a soft glow through its curved openings. The flower-like globe is constructed of 12 similar aluminium spiral lamellae making it durable and sturdy. The vertical lamellae acts to reduce the gathering of dust.
Turbo is available in two sizes: small with a diameter of 36cm and large at 62cm. As an alternative to a ceiling canopy a ceiling hook is included.

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.
