The Eclisse Table Lamp is also available in the special colour red, only for a short period of time.

The Eclisse table lamp was already designed in the year 1967 by Vico Magistretti for the Italian manufacturer Artemide. The illuminants are positioned in the head of the small sculpture and are covered by a rotatable sphere that is open at one side, serving as a manual dimmer.

The open sphere in the Eclisse lamp can be turned freely and it reveals the interior bulb step by step like this. Depending on how much the sphere shows from the illuminant, the light is stronger or weaker, more direct or indirect: if the sphere hides the illuminant wholly, the light will only shine from the laterals. If the illuminant is completely viewable, the light will be directly led into the room.

This is how Eclisse enables manual dimming of the light and creates the desired atmosphere for relaxing moments, reading or working. The Eclisse table lamp from Artemide consists of lacquered metal and is available in three colours. The small lamp is moreover suitable for wall mountings.

The Eclisse table lamp from Artemide was already awarded in the year 1967 with the Compasso d’Oro. The small lamp is positioned in numerous museums all around the world today.
