AJ Eklipta Outdoor Wall Lamp

$865.00

The fixture emits soft comfortable light. The glass is designed to provide a uniformly lit surface. The three-layer hand blown opal glass shade has a transparent edge, providing a decorative halo of light around the fixture.

AJ Eklipta was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1956 for Rødovre Town Hall. Two sizes were produced for this project: 13.7" and 17.7". They were used indoors on stairways and outdoors as wall lamps. A 8.7" version was later designed for St. Catherines College in England. Arne Jacobsen preferred the largest model when specifying his own projects. Today, AJ Eklipta is used worldwide and in a variety of architectural contexts.

Designer

Arne Jacobsen, born and raised in Copenhagen, graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1927 and quickly established his own studio. Known for his strong decision-making as an architect, Jacobsen pioneered 'gesamtkunstwerk', designing buildings and meticulously crafting interior details like furniture and lighting. His iconic works include 'The Egg' and 'The Swan' chairs, and he taught at the Royal Danish Academy for 11 years, influencing a generation of Danish architects with his functionalist and minimalist approach.

Brand

Established in 1874 as a lighting manufacturer, Louis Poulsen has become one of the world's leading producers of lighting. This success is attributed to collaborations with renowned designers and architects like Arne Jacobsen, Øivind Slaatto, Poul Henningsen, and Verner Panton.
