Product Story
Designed by Vico Magistretti in 1965, Eclisse won the Compasso d'Oro award in 1967 and became the worldwide representative of Italian design. Eclisse is an avant-garde balance of form and function, design and utility. The basis of the concept lies in the functionality of adjusting the light intensity through its rotating inner shadow, which 'shades' the light source. In fact, with a fixed outer envelope and a movable inner envelope, the lamp can provide direct or diffused light. From an environmental point of view, the new coloring is one of its cleanest technologies: it uses only metals that are not harmful to health and completely eliminates all emissions, especially sulfuric acid and cyanides, which are normally produced by galvanic processes, into the atmosphere. In
the next stage of transparent protective varnishing, which aims to ensure the long-term aesthetic quality of the finish, a solid varnish with a maximum solvent of 5% is used (compared to the conventional 75%). Very little waste is generated in this process.
Eclisse is part of the permanent collections of the world's most important museums.
