Louis Weisdorf

Louis Weisdorf (1932–2021) was a Danish architect and industrial designer celebrated for his versatility and ingenuity. After graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1954, Weisdorf explored a range of disciplines, from architecture to graphic design, before turning his focus to lighting. His 1972 Multi-Lite collection exemplifies his passion for user-centred design, with shades that can be adjusted to create unique light effects. The Turbo Pendant, a standout from 1967, reflects his fascination with slatted designs that direct light while shielding the bulb, earning him an iF Design Award.

Weisdorf’s career was defined by collaborations with renowned designers like Verner Panton and Poul Henningsen, and his work remains integral to Danish design history. Today, Weisdorf’s timeless creations, including the Multi-Lite and Turbo Pendant, continue to captivate design enthusiasts around the world.
