Designed by Louis WeisdorfRead Bio
The Multi-Lite Portable Table Lamp is an incredibly versatile addition to any desk where it rests. The light can be directed upwards, downwards or exude an asymmetrical light; the choice is yours. Two cylindrical shapes lay the foundation of the lamp and a metal ring encompasses it and anchors the two-quarter spherical shades. Multi-Lite includes a rechargeable battery and built-in three-level dimmer, allowing it to be placed wherever it is needed to create the perfect ambiance.
Specification Sheet / Technical Files
Louis Weisdorf (1932 2021) was a well-known Danish architect and industrial designer. After becoming one of the youngest designers to graduate from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1954, he worked across graphic, interior, architectural, and industrial design. Weisdorf described himself as a specialist in versatility, which sums up the prodigious and notable career of this multi-faceted designer.
In 1961, he started a ten-year assignment at Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park in Copenhagen, working as assistant to the chief architect Simon P. Henningsen. It was here that he created the Konkylie (conch) Lamp in 1964, with its innovative vertically-hung concentric slats his first foray into lighting design. The anodized gold light hung from trees throughout the Tivoli Gardens until very recently and was also put into production despite initial fears that it would be impossible to recreate.
