TURBO
TURBO was created by Louis Weisdorf in 1965. In year 2005 we celebrate the TURBO’s 40 years’ anniversary by launching the pendant in its two original sizes, TURBO 36 and TURBO 62 - 36 & 62 referring to the diameter of each pendant in centimetres. TURBO is a very simple design containing 12 identical white-sprayed spiral shaped segments made of aluminium whose exterior follow the face of a globe. This implies that the light does not blind, as the bulb is screened. Due to the vertical placement of the 12 segments the lamp is easy on dust and easy to clean. TURBO gives a functional and exquisite diffuse light and sends a pleasant gloom onto itself and its surroundings. At the Hannover fair in 1973 TURBO was nominated by an international jury to be shown at the special show ‘Die Gute Industrieform’, where TURBO received the IF73 award. Still in year 2005 TURBO is recognized as a classic design light being included in “1000 Lights” in Taschen’s Decorative Arts series. |
