Objekto - Mauricio Klabin - Table lamp - Eclipse - Polypropylene - MoMA Collection

Iconic Eclipse Table Lamp by Mauricio Klabin for Objekto – MoMA Collection Design Elevate your interior with a true masterpiece of 20th-century design. The Eclipse lamp, designed by the visionary Mauricio Klabin in 1982 and produced by Objekto, is much more than a light source; it is an interactive sculpture. Its genius lies in its inclusion in the permanent collection of the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York, cementing its status as a global design icon. Beauty in Simplicity The Eclipse is a celebration of "ingenious simplicity." Constructed from a single continuous strip of white polypropylene, the structure can be manipulated and rotated. This allows you to sculpt the lamp’s shape and play with the intensity and direction of the light, creating a personalized atmosphere that ranges from a bright glow to a subtle, poetic shimmer. It arrives in its iconic flat-pack "pizza box" packaging, reflecting the designer's commitment to sustainable and accessible high-end design. Technical Specifications & Details: Condition: Excellent condition. The lamp has been carefully maintained, showing barely any signs of wear. It is in perfect working order, ready to illuminate your space. Era / Age: Produced after 2000 (Contemporary production of the 1982 original design). Material: High-quality flexible Polypropylene (diffuser) and sturdy Zinc-plated Steel (support structure) with protective pads. Origin: Designed in Brazil / Manufactured by Objekto. Dimensions: Height: 36 cm Width: 32 cm Depth: 32 cm Colour: Pure White with Black/Metallic accents. Why bid on this lot? Whether placed on a minimalist desk, a vintage sideboard, or used as a conversational bedside lamp, the Eclipse adapts to any environment. Its versatility is unmatched: the metal feet can even be adjusted or removed to explore different creative displays. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of museum-tier history that remains as modern today as it was 40 years ago. Shipping & Packaging Tracked and insured shipping worldwide. About the Designer: Mauricio Klabin (1945–2000) Mauricio Klabin was an influential Brazilian designer and photographer, widely recognized for his philosophy of democratic and accessible design. His mission was not to create objects for an elite, but to produce pieces that could bring joy and well-being to everyone, regardless of their budget. Klabin firmly believed that design should be "good, beautiful, and affordable." The Eclipse lamp, his most celebrated work, perfectly embodies this vision: Structural Innovation: By using simple industrial materials, he succeeded in creating an object that the user can "feel" and shape. Global Recognition: His genius was officially consecrated in 2006, when the Eclipse was acquired by the MoMA in New York for its permanent collection—an honor reserved only for pieces that have fundamentally changed the history of design. Owning a Klabin piece means bringing a fragment of Brazil’s creative soul into your home, characterized by a warmth and flexibility that few other design objects can offer.
