Eclisse, direct or diffused light in a small structure

Eclisse, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1965, won the Compasso d'Oro in 1967 and became the representative of Italian design in the world.

Eclisse is an avant-garde balance between form and function, design and utility. The basis of the concept lies in its functionality of adjusting the light intensity through its rotating inner shade that "eclipses" the light source. In fact, with a fixed outer casing and a movable inner casing, the lamp can provide direct or diffused light. Table lamp, it can also be mounted on the wall.

"Simplicity and concept are the basis of design and architecture. A good design lasts fifty years, the rest are temporary things."

The new exclusive colors that will be available from Artemide Holiday Gifts are manufactured using an innovative and sustainable metal vacuum deposition process. The painted metal body is available in black, gold, copper or mirror with on/off switch.

The PVD versions of Eclisse are a perfect example of how Artemide's research in materials, finishes and processes is strongly oriented towards sustainable solutions. In the choice of design, environmental impact is a discriminating factor that takes precedence over the final aesthetic result.
