Description

Brazilian Mauricio Klabin designed the Eclipse light in 1982 as part of
a series of objects he called 'cocoons' due to their rounded form,
internal volumes and capacity to change. The Eclipse lamp is now part of the
permanent collection of MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design. With the same kind of coiled delicacy you find in a soft-shelled
nautilus, the Eclipse light is a model of simplicity and ingenuity. Fabricated from a single strip of polypropylene attached to a steel
frame, the Eclipse light can be opened or closed to varying degrees which allows the shape of the fixture to be altered to expand or reduce the
amount of direct light or change the angle of illumination.
