Many of Vico Magistretti's lighting designs share basic characteristics: simple profiles, an emphasis on geo- metric forms seen in the Cirene (1965) and the Atollo (1977) lights, to name but two - and moveable parts as in the Eclisse (1965-66) and Telegono (1968) lights. These are all realized in the Giunone floor light (1969), named after the goddess of light, which also features a tall base. The four domed shades have been sliced in such a way that they sit close together and have room to swive as up-lighters or down-lighters.
