Originally designed in 1972, the pendant features clean lines and timeless curves, exemplifying innovation and the golden era of Danish Design. Allowing for downward, upward and even asymmetrical lighting, the two opposing outside mobile shades, held in place by a chrome or brass ring, enable you to create your perfect personalised illumination to suit your preference and mood. The Multi-Lite pendant light is a practical and elegant addition to any modern home, offering a gorgeous atmospheric glow and enduring expression to contemporary living spaces. Available in a selection of sleek finishes to perfectly suit your interior style. This pendant luminaire is something very special: its shade consists of metal elements that can be slid around the central cylinder in different ways, so that a completely individual configuration with light emission upwards, downwards or asymmetrically can be created at any time. The creative mastermind behind this fascinating possibility of home lighting is Louis Weisdorf (*1932), a well-known Danish architect and designer. After graduating from the Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1954, he devoted himself to industrial, graphic and interior design and worked in a wide range of fields, including the leisure sector and construction. For ten years, he worked as chief assistant to the chief architect Simon P. Henningsen (son of the legendary lighting designer Poul Henningsen) at the Copenhagen amusement park Tivoli. In the late 1960s he founded his own design studio in Copenhagen. During his active time he worked with other renowned designers, including Poul Henningsen, Verner Panton and Le Klint. The Multi-Lite pendant lamp is manufactured by the Danish manufacturer Gubi, which has specialised in the production of high-quality furniture and lamps since its foundation by Lisbeth and Gubi Olsen in 1967. The small 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.
