An icon of Italian industrial design, the Eclisse Table Lamp was originally inspired by a miner's lamp used by the hero Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. Designed by Vico Magistretti in 1967 for Artemide Design, the Eclisse is an avant-garde balance between form and function, design and utility. The concept's foundation lies in Eclisse's functionality of adjusting the intensity of light through its rotating inner shade that 'eclipses' the light source. Eclisse can provide direct or diffused light with the lamp composed of a fixed outer shell, in Orange, and a moveable inner shell.
