1965
Designed by Louis Weisdorf
Turbo Collection comprises the Turbo Pendant in two sizes.
Louis Weisdorf's Turbo Pendant was designed in 1965,
but first put into production in 1967 and has achieved
great success since then. It represents design at its best: it
is simple in form yet complex in structure, and combines
a sense of both strength and spaciousness in a beautiful
sculptural whole. The lightness of the Japanese rice paper
that inspired the lamp has been transformed into a more
durable and sturdier form. The outer curve of the lamp
is made of 12 spiral membranes that form a flower-like
globe to shield the light. The Turbo Pendant is a perfect
example of how Weisdorf's passion for the repetition of
elements characterizes his design.
