Green Tolomeo Micro desk lamp

Another highlight from Artemide's Tolomeo lamp series: the Tolomeo Micro table lamp is the smaller version of the classic desk lamp. Thanks to its compact size, it fits on even the smallest desk or side table. The height of the desk lamp in the normal working position is 37 cm, the depth 45 cm. 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 together with architect Giancarlo Fassina over 30 years ago. 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.
