Could it be that Louis Weisdorf’s stint as an architect at the whimsical Tivoli Gardens that inspired his unique Multi-Lite? This Danish designer’s circa-1972 light allows illumination to be directed upwards, downwards or both, with just a touch to the individually rotating shades. The movable metal shades are cleverly mounted on a brass or chrome ring. This timeless composition also shields the eye at all angles from direct bulb glare.
