Eclisse Table Lamp – Vico Magistretti for Artemide

A true icon of 20th-century Italian design. Designed by Vico Magistretti in 1965 for Artemide, Eclisse is one of the Milanese designer’s most celebrated works; it won the Compasso d’Oro award in 1967 and is now part of the permanent collections of the world’s most important design museums.

Its ingenious shielding system allows the light intensity to be adjusted by rotating the inner diffuser, creating the effect that inspired the design’s name: an eclipse.

Crafted from painted metal, it bears the manufacturer’s mark on the base—reading “Studio Artemide Milano – Modello Eclisse – Design Vico Magistretti – Made in Italy”—as a guarantee of its authenticity.

This piece shows natural signs of age and some minor paint loss—visible in the photographs—which do not affect its functionality but bear witness to the object’s history.
