Artemide Tolomeo Micro table lamp, blue

Blue Tolomeo Micro table lamp for your desk

This flexibly adjustable table lamp comes from Artemide's Tolomeo lamp series: Tolomeo Micro is the more compact and smaller version of the classic desk lamp. Thanks to its space-saving dimensions, it fits on even the smallest desk or side table. It offers the same advantages as its big brother: the flexible joints allow the lampshade to be adjusted individually, providing precise lighting as required.

The Tolomeo table lamp has won various international design awards, including the "Compasso d'Oro" (1989) and the "Observeur du design" (2001). Designer and architect Michele de Lucchi developed the Tolomeo series of lights over 30 years ago together with architect Giancarlo Fassina. A mechanism that de Lucchi had seen fishermen using in Apulia served as inspiration for the later design of the desk lamp, which he initially wanted to create for his own workplace. The founder of Artemide, Ernesto Gismondi, was immediately enthusiastic about the designs, but the first prototypes did not work. It was only with the intervention of Giancarlo Fassina that this was remedied and the Tolomeo was brought to market.
