It's kind of funny really. I just happened to marry into a family that has retro collectable interest. No kidding, I had never even brought up the topic with my wife before we got married. We of course talked about out interest in vintage stuff, but never really talked about how far it ran in her family. Well, over the years the interest that my wife's had in the Retro/vintage style has grown into a business for them. Me... yeah... not so much. Still, I do get to enjoy their finds. And that's exactly what I'm doing now. I'm enjoying this cool lamp, and sharing the experience with you. So, take a look-see.  There are a number of other detail photos on the ebay page here.

Here's the details:

Studio ARTEMIDE MILANO, Designed By VICO MAGISTRETTI, Eclisse Model Lamp

This lamp is not in working condition. It has a dent at the top of both the inner shade and the red shade. There are scratches on the lamp as well. It can be used as either a wall lamp or table lamp. The lamp's height is 7".

Occasional Lamp

The lamp you see here is a lamp that I am working on at the moment. It is in the beginning stages and I hope to have it finished in the next couple days. One aspect of this lamp that I didn't illustrate (which I thought of later), is that this lamp will have the ability to be used as a floor lamp or a hanging lamp. On top of the lamp, there will be feet. These feet will hide the hooks that are used to hang it from the ceiling, and also be the feet on which it will sit while being uses as a floor lamp.

My chosen material is Birch plywood with relief cuts for bending on the inside. The interior will also be painted a gloss white to reflect more light illuminating the room more and not overpowering the look of the lamp.

As soon as I have finished it, I will be sure to post photos on my Flickr with a post to show all finished.
