“I designed the Tolomeo in 1986. Perhaps I ought to say that I invented it, as in point of fact the idea for a new mechanism came before the lamp was created.” Michele De Lucchi

The iconic Tolomeo lamp is now available in vibrant pops of color. Shades of blue, yellow, coral and white add a bright accent to the black base. The lamp features the same flexible arm and diffuser as the iconic original, working perfectly as both a functional task lamp and design object. Brought out in 1987 and designed for Artemide by Michele De Lucchi
with Giancarlo Fassina, the Tolomeo was an immediate bestseller, consolidating a working relationship that continues to this day. Inspired by traditional balanced arm lamps like the famous Naska Loris, his challenge was to combine an iconic and “domestic” form with innovative technologies and materials, adapting it to a wide variety of uses and settings.

Today it is a well-known symbol of the modern object, commonly seen in houses, offices and hotels, on the desks of architects and on photographic and even film sets.

Artemide

Milan, Italy

The Tolomeo lamp, balanced on slim aluminium arms with a tilting head, is one of the most recognizable lamps ever made. It belongs to Artemide, founded in Milan in 1960 by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza, a company whose designs now sit in the collections of MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Tizio desk lamp is another Artemide classic, still in demand decades after its launch.

Today the catalogue spans desk and task lamps, floor lamps, pendants, wall and ceiling lights and architectural systems. Artemide has worked with Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron and Bjarke Ingels Group, among many others, and it develops its own optics and patented technologies. The company calls its approach Human Light: lighting designed around how people feel, see and work, with efficient LED sources and careful glare control. Sixty years in, Artemide still treats a lamp as an engineering problem and a piece of culture at once.
