About This Piece

Vintage Design

The small version of the Multi-Lite pendant lamp is an iconic design by Danish designer Louis Weisdorf from 1972. Crafted in polished brass, it embodies the experimental spirit and geometric optimism of Danish mid-century design. The lamp's exceptional versatility is its defining feature. The spherical shape is defined by a striking metal ring that serves as the axis of rotation for two movable outer shades. This construction allows the light direction to be completely altered with just a few simple adjustments: depending on the position of the shades, the Multi-Lite emits direct upward, downward, or asymmetrical, artistic light. This versatility makes it a functional work of art that adapts to any room and any lighting mood. Weisdorf's design reflects his desire for users to be able to participate in shaping the lamp's atmosphere. This particular example has been comprehensively modernized: we have installed a new socket and fitted a generous 3-meter-long cable. This lamp offers maximum freedom of placement, even in rooms with very high ceilings or decentralized electrical outlets. There is a small scratch on one of the shades (see photos). The Multi-Lite is a timeless collector's item from GUBI, adding a touch of luxury to any interior with its golden brass finish and architectural depth.

About the Creator

Louis Weisdorf

Born in 1932, Danish architect-designer Louis Weisdorf graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art in Copenhagen in 1954. Although his career has been long and multifaceted—his projects have spanned graphic, furniture, and interior design—he’s best known for the iconic lighting designs he created for Lyfa in the 1960s and ’70s.

In the years following school, Weisdorf worked for a number of high-profile Danish designers, including Poul Henningsen and Verner Panton. In 1961, Simon Henningsen (son of Poul) hired Weisdorf to assist him in overseeing the development and management of Copenhagen’s famous Tivoli Gardens, where Henningsen installed a number of artistic light fixtures, both indoors and out. Weisdorf held this position for a decade. Around 1965, he launched his own design studio, sharing a space with Ole Panton , brother of Verner.

Some of the most beloved lighting designs that Weisdorf put into production with Lyfa include the Konkylie Hanging Lamp (1963), Facet Pendant (1963), Turbo Pendant (1965-67), Facet Pop Pendant (1970), Ekko Pendant (1966-68), and Multi-Lite Collection (1972-74). Because Weisdorf’s designs tended to involved intricate, overlapping layers of metal or plastic—an eye-catching composition for reducing glare—Lyfa sold his work as “prestige lighting.” Consequently these pieces were not produced in very large quantities, and they went out of production when Fog & Mørup acquired Lyfa in the 1970s.
