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's 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.
