Multi-Lite Portable Lamp

$579

Made by GUBI

Designed by Louis Weisdorf

In 1972, Louis Weisdorf conceived the Multi-Lite as an exercise in geometric modularity, a pendant whose twin shades could be repositioned to direct or diffuse light according to the moment. GUBI's portable interpretation preserves that sculptural intelligence in a compact, rechargeable form.

The lamp travels without compromise. A three-step touch dimmer allows precise control over atmosphere, while an integrated USB charging port removes any dependency on fixed wiring. A distinctive ring handle, characteristic of the original's considered proportions, makes carrying the piece as deliberate a gesture as placing it.

  • Rechargeable with integrated USB port
  • Three-step touch dimmer for variable illumination
  • Suitable for indoor and covered outdoor settings
  • Ring handle for ease of movement

Weisdorf's legacy at GUBI spans decades of faithful stewardship. The Multi-Lite Portable is a continuation of that dialogue, honoring the original's modernist sensibility while answering the spatial demands of contemporary interiors, terraces, and hospitality environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the battery life of the Multi-Lite Portable Lamp?

Battery life varies depending on the brightness setting selected. At the lowest dimmer setting, the lamp typically offers significantly extended use between charges, making it well suited to long evenings outdoors or in settings without nearby power access.

Who designed the original Multi-Lite and when?

The Multi-Lite was designed by Danish designer Louis Weisdorf in 1972. Originally conceived as a pendant, its defining feature is the pair of independently adjustable shades that allow the user to control the direction and character of light.

Can the Multi-Lite Portable be used outdoors?

The lamp is designed for flexibility between indoor and covered outdoor environments. It is best suited to sheltered terraces or exterior dining settings rather than direct exposure to rain or harsh weather.

How does the touch dimmer work on this lamp?

The lamp features a three-step touch dimmer, allowing the user to cycle through distinct brightness levels with a simple touch. This makes it straightforward to adjust the mood of a space without any additional controls or apps.

Is the Multi-Lite Portable part of a broader GUBI family?

Yes. GUBI has stewarded the Multi-Lite design across several formats, including ceiling pendants and table lamps. The portable version extends that family into cordless living, maintaining the geometric language and material sensibility of the original.
