AJ Eklipta was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1956 for Rødovre Town Hall. Two different sizes were produced for this project – Ø350 and Ø450. They were used indoors on stairways and outdoors as wall lamps. A Ø220 version was later designed for St. Catherine’s College in England. When Arne Jacobsen used the fixture himself on stairways he always preferred the largest model. The fixture is being used around the world today in a variety of architectural contexts.

Description
The AJ lamp family is considered to be the design Jacobsen is most famous for worldwide. Apart from the AJ Floor, the AJ family consisted of a table lamp too, a smaller table lamp, a wall lamp as well as a table mounted lamp that were all to be found around the SAS Royal Hotel after its inauguration in 1960.
The clean distinguished shape of the AJ lamp with its immaculate light could be seen all around the hotel in copper and stainless steel. Together with the AJ Royal, the AJ lamp family was part of the overall design concept, which Jacobsen had created for the hotel. He practically designed everything himself. The parallels between the straight lines and the combination of straight and curved angles in the AJ lamp design are also visible in the geometric contours of his buildings.
