Eclisse

Eclisse, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1965, won the Compasso d'Oro award in 1967 and has become the ambassador of Italian design in the world. Eclisse is an avant-garde balance between form and function, design and utility. The foundation of the concept lies in its functionality of adjusting the intensity of light through its rotating inner shade that "dwarfs" the light source. In fact, with a fixed outer shell and a movable inner shell, the lamp can provide direct or diffused light. A table lamp, it can also be wall mounted. Painted metal body available in white, red, orange or yellow and PVD, realized with an innovative and durable process of vacuum metal deposition ("sputtering"), available in black, brass, copper or mirror.From the point of view of respect for the environment, "sputtering" is the absolutely cleanest coating technology for the type of metal used and because all the emissions are reduced, in particular those into the atmosphere of sulphuric acid and cyanides produced by galvanic processes. A solid paint containing up to 5% solvents (compared to 75% of traditional products) is used for the subsequent protective coating phase. The process generates very little waste and the finish obtained is particularly resistant over time. Eclisse is part of the permanent collection of the most important design museums, including the MoMa in New York and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan.
