Arne Jacobsen‘s AJ Eklipta Outdoor Wall Lamp

今天要介绍的是由丹麦哥本哈根设计师Arne Jacobsen设计，由Louis Poulsen出品的AJ Eklipta Outdoor Wall Lamp。他是将现代家居风格引入丹麦的先驱之一。这款壁灯是为当时的Rødovre Town Hall所设计，由于Rødovre Town Hall由很多缺乏灯光的楼梯和走廊。这款灯光使用了三层的乳色玻璃，使得灯光可以变得柔和，统一，并让四周看上去仿佛有个光圈。这款灯光如今依然是现代家居风格的首选之一。

Born and raised in Copenhagen, Arne Jacobsen graduated in 1927 with a degree in architecture from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Inspired by the likes of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, Jacobsen embraced a functionalist approach from the outset. He was among the first to introduce modern furniture to Denmark and create industrial pieces that built upon its craft-based heritage. AJ Eklipta was designed for Rødovre Town Hall, where it was used for staircases and walls indoors and out. Using a hand-blown three-layer opal glass diffuser with transparent rim, it emits soft, uniform light with a decorative halo around the edge. Small mounts on walls only; other two mount on walls or ceilings. Bulbs (not included): 40W/T4/G9 halogen for small; 60W/A19/E26 incandescent or LED equivalent for medium; 100W/A19/E26 incandescent or LED equivalent for large.
