Louis Weisdorf (1932– 2021) was a well-known Danish architect and industrial designer. After becoming one of the youngest designers to graduate from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1954, he worked across graphic, interior, architectural, and industrial design. Weisdorf described himself as a specialist in versatility, which sums up the prodigious and notable career of this multi-faceted designer. In 1961, he started a ten-year assignment at Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park in Copenhagen, working as assistant to the chief architect Simon P. Henningsen. It was here that he created the Konkylie (‘conch’) Lamp in 1964, with its innovative vertically-hung concentric slats – his first foray into lighting design. The anodised gold light hung from trees throughout the Tivoli Gardens until very recently and was also put into production despite initial fears that it would be impossible to recreate.
Gubi is a Danish design house that merges past and present, curating a collection of furniture and lighting that balances historical influence with modern innovation. The brand is known for reviving mid-century masterpieces while also collaborating with contemporary designers to create future icons. From the timeless Beetle Chair to the sculptural Multi-Lite Pendant, Gubi’s pieces embody elegance, functionality, and bold aesthetics. With a deep respect for craftsmanship and form, the brand continues to shape the landscape of modern interiors.
