Artemide Table lamp Copper/Metal Metal. Dimensions: Ø 12 x H 18 cm.
Perfect for all of your vintage desires, the Eclisse lamp continues to seduce
new generations, charming them with the practical and mythical aesthetic of
1960s Italian design. To mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Vico
Magistretti, Artemide pays homage to the Italian designer with a special edition
of his cult-favourite piece. Alongside the classic pop colours, it is now
available in four ultra-chic, metallic colourways as a limited edition, and a
special release in a yellow colourway. Created in 1965, Eclisse is one of Vico
Magistretti's biggest successes: an avant-garde balance between form and
function, as well as between design and utility. It took the interior world by
storm, heralding the glory days of industrial Italian design in the post-war
period. In this stunning varnished metal lamp, we can identify the great Italian
designer's fondness for strong, geometric volumes. The basis of the concept
lies within its functionality, allowing for the intensity of its light to be
adjusted via its rotating interior diffuser which „eclipses“ the light
source. Eclisse is composed of a spherical structure with a pivoting half-sphere
attached to its interior, enabling the light to be adjusted and its intensity to
be adapted. When fully closed, Eclisse truly gives the impression of an eclipse!
So, thanks to its fixed exterior shell and its mobile interior shell, the lamp
can provide direct or diffuse lighting. The Eclisse lamp won the prestigious
Compasso d'Oro award in 1967, becoming the ambassador piece of Italian design on
a global stage. Eclisse is included in the permanent collections of the largest
design museums around the world, from the MoMa in New York to the Triennale
Design Museum in Milan. Initially designed as a table lamp, Eclisse can also be
attached to the wall.> Flash sale: special price for a limited
