Story
Rødovre Town Hall
The first AJ Eklipta lamps date from 1956, when Arne Jacobsen drew them for Rødovre Town Hall; on the stairways they hung indoors, and outside they served as wall lamps. Today the lamp turns up worldwide and in a variety of architectural contexts.
The 8.7 in size
This size was designed later for St. Catherines College in England. Its three-layer hand blown opal glass shade has a transparent edge, and that edge lights the fixture with a halo.
