AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eclisse by Artemide, one of the world’s most celebrated icons of Italian industrial design, conceived by Vico Magistretti.
The structure is made entirely of steel and baked-enamel-painted metal, with internal components in technopolymer.
Its distinctive feature is the rotating internal hemispherical dome (also made of metal), which lets you adjust how much of the light source is obscured, mimicking a solar eclipse.
Orange is the signature color of the ’60s and ’70s (the so-called “Space Age” period).
The back also features the characteristic shaped slot that allowed the lamp to be hung directly on the wall, turning it into a wall sconce.
Features:
Dimensions: 18 x 12 cm
Weight: 0.7 kg
Original vintage example from the period (first series).
Winner of the prestigious “Compasso d’Oro” award in 1967.
The Eclisse lamp is part of the permanent collection at the “MoMA (Museum of Modern Art)” in New York, where it is recognized as a landmark of 20th-century design, as well as in some of the world’s most important museums, including the “Triennale Design Museum” in Milan and the “Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met)”
