Louis Weisdorf Turbo Lamp
"Turbo" was created by Louis Weisdorf in 1965 and this year we
celebrate its 40 years anniversary by launching the pendant in its two
original sizes "Turbo36" and "Turbo62" (36 & 62 referring to the
diameter of each pendant in centimetres). "Turbo" is a very simple
design containing 12 identical white-sprayed spiral shaped segments
made of aluminium whose exterior follow the face of a globe. That means
that the light does not blind but the bulb is completely screened.
At
the Hannover fair in 1973 "Turbo" was nominated by an international
jury to be shown at the special show "Die Gute Industrieform", he
received the award IF73. Louis Weisdorf (1932) has as a designer and
architect achieved great acknowledgement in quite a few matters. Among
other things he has as a manager at PH's son Simon P. Henningsen's -
drawing office designed "Plænen" and "Perlen" in the lovely amusement
park Tivoli in Copenhagen. In Tivoli there are also more lights by
Louis Weisdorf, the famous "Konkylie-pendant", designed especially for
Tivoli, furthermore have Lyfa and Le Klint benefited by his design of
lights.
Louis Weisdorf has also designed chairs and buildings for
Verner Panton and has worked freelance for PH e.g. designing chairs for
the Aveny theatre in Copenhagen. During the 60s Louis Weisdorf's new
and different lamp designs attracted a lot of attention. He was a
pioneer in his field and because of his sense of form, function and
aesthetics he also received a great deal of international
acknowledgement. His design has a characteristic of elegance,
sculptural idiom and great lighting qualities.
