A timeless piece of Italian design history
Designed by Vico Magistretti, Eclisse is a legendary lamp from the 1960s that perfectly merges form and function. Composed of three interlocking hemispherical shells, one of which rotates internally to “eclipse” the light source, it offers a playful and intuitive lighting experience.
Adjustable light through clever rotation
Eclisse allows users to manually adjust the light intensity by rotating the inner shade, partially or fully shielding the light source. This unique design transforms the lamp into both a sculptural object and a functional tool for ambience.
Durable PVD Black finish with eco-friendly technology
The PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) treatment creates a sleek, uniform black surface that’s highly resistant to scratches and aging. This eco-conscious process uses minimal solvents and produces a long-lasting, high-gloss finish with reduced environmental impact.
Versatile and compact for every space
With its compact 18 cm height, Eclisse works perfectly as a table lamp or wall sconce. Its sculptural presence and retro-futuristic charm add personality to any room – from bedside tables to bookshelves.
Technical specifications
The lamp operates at 220–240V and accommodates an E14 Retrofit LED bulb up to 5W. It delivers 170 lumens of diffused and direct light. The body is made of steel, with aluminum and technopolymer components. Rated IP20, it is intended for indoor use only.
