To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Vico Magistretti, Artemide have introduced four new colours to the famous Eclisse collection.

Vico Magistretti was among the first designers with whom the late Ernesto Gismondi began a long relationship that produced iconic products that are still contemporary today. After 50 years, projects such as Eclisse, Chimera, Dalu are still relevant, they are the expression of good design, born from functional and productive intelligence. Designed in 1967, Eclisse is a true Twentieth Century Classic.

As Vico Magistretti noted, A beautiful design lasts fifty years, the rest are temporary things. Design remains, fashions pass.

Designed in 1967 by Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos, Snoopy Table Light is a superb Twentieth Century Classic. White Carrara marble base with Black, Green or the new for 2021 Orange metal reflector. Integrated sensor dimmer located on the marble base. The classic Italian design gets a stunning new orange finish added to the collection, a tip of the hat to the 1960's pop-art scene.

Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded their eponymous studio , Barber & Osgerby, in 1996 after graduating with Master’s degrees in Architecture from The Royal College of Art in London. From their first studio in Trellick Tower in London, they designed their first piece, the Loop Table, produced by Isokon in 1997. Much of Barber & Osgerby's early work involved the folding and shaping of sheet material, influenced by the white card that they had used frequently in architectural model making. Plywood and perspex were used in the development of the Pilot Table, 1999, and Stencil Screen, 2000.

Empatia is a stunning new design by Carlotta De Bevilacqua and Paola Di Arianello for Artemide, The Empatia Table light is part of Empatia collection of Table Lights, Floor Lights, Wall Lights, Ceiling Lights and Suspension Lights. Empatia fuses the famous Italian glass blowing tradition with the very latest LED technology from Artemide. Careful study of its potential resulted in collaboration with master glass blowers to exploit the unique characteristics of Venetian glass, and to work on the balance between surface and light, between subtle densities and transparencies. The result; pure craft objects, each unique in all respects. Transparency and opacity are carefully blended to obtain a glass that reflects light, without glare and without losing efficiency. The optical device, a high-performance LED based light engine, was created to provide higher thermal efficiency and performance. Empatia is available with 16CM, 26CM and 36CM diameter Murano glass shades.
