An icon of Italian modernist lighting, Eclisse received the Compasso d'Oro award in 1967. Its distinctive spherical construction incorporates a rotating inner shade that progressively conceals or reveals the light source.

This set includes two original vintage examples in different colors: one red and one orange. Both retain the original Artemide Milano markings beneath their bases, identifying the model and designer.

The lamps can be used on a tabletop or mounted on a wall, offering a versatile combination of functional lighting and sculptural design.
