Item description

Eclisse is a lamp designed by Italian designer Vico Magistretti in 1965 for the Italian furniture and lighting company Artemide, which started production in 1967. It is one of the most important industrial design products of the 20th century and has become one of the symbols of Italian design in the world. It is part of the permanent collection of the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York and has been exhibited in many museums dedicated to design, contemporary art and furniture around the world. It was awarded the Compasso d'Oro Prize in 1967. It is a table lamp, with direct or diffused light, but also designed for wall installation. The lamp allows its user to obscure, at will, the light source by sliding a solid round body over it and thus regulate the luminous flux; if the light source is completely covered only the external glow remains, reminiscent of a total eclipse. This is a rare lamp from the first series, recognisable by the lack of the letter 'S' printed underneath and only present from the second series onwards.
