GUBI Turbo Pendant Glossy Alabaster White Large
Design: Louis Weisdorf, 1965 Concept: The Turbo The pendant was first created in 1965. The inspiration for the lamp comes from Japanese rice paper, which can be seen in the lamp's design with 12 identical spiral-shaped aluminum slats, which give the lamp a flower-like appearance. The slats shield the lightbulb and thus prevent glare. Furthermore, the slats are vertical and thus prevent dust from settling. Incredibly beautiful pendant, which with its sculptural beauty gives the room it hangs an extra boost.
GUBI Turbo Pendant - Ø62 (White, Alabaster White Glossy)
Louis Weisdorf's Turbo Pendant was designed in 1965, but first put into production in 1967 and has achieved great success over the years. It illustrates design at its best: it is simple in form, yet complex in structure and combines a sense of airiness and strength in a beautiful sculptural whole. The inspiration for the lamp is the lightness of the Japanese rice paper transformed into a more durable and sturdy version. The outer curve of the lamp is made of twelve similar spiral lamellae, that form a flower-like globe that shields the light. The Turbo Pendant is a perfect example of Weisdorf's passion for multiple repeating elements that he used for most of his works.
