Eclisse lamp by Artemide

Italy 1970, brand Artemide , material metal, cm 11x16

If you’re a fan of vintage design and iconic lighting, the Eclisse Table Lamp by Vico Magistretti for Artemide is a name you’ve probably heard — and for good reason. Designed in 1965, this small but revolutionary lamp perfectly captures the spirit of Italian mid-century design: simple, functional, and irresistibly beautiful.
What makes Eclisse so special is its clever mechanism. The inner shade can be rotated to “eclipse” the light, letting you control brightness just like a dimmer — but without any technology. Inspired by a lunar eclipse, Magistretti turned a basic idea into a poetic and practical design that still feels fresh today.
Over the decades, the Eclisse Lamp has become a true design classic, featured in the permanent collections of the MoMA in New York and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. It’s one of those rare pieces that bridges art and everyday life — a lamp that doesn’t just light up a room, but also tells a story about innovation, creativity, and timeless style.
