Building on the success of the Tolomeo desk lamp created by Michele de Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, Artemide has launched a smaller, coloured version that has the same characteristics as its larger predecessor, but with a less powerful light source. Tolomeo Micro features a polished aluminium articulated arm structure and a spring-loaded balancing system for articulation. Its maximum length when unfolded is 73cm. The diffuser, which can be swivelled in all directions, is made of anodised aluminium, and the ball joints and brackets are made of polished aluminium. This lamp is available in several colours: anodised red, black, and orange, making it suitable for office spaces as well as bedside tables.
In 1959, Ernesto Gismondi combined engineering and design to found Artemide. His motto, “The Human Light,” represents the human being and their well-being, which are at the heart of attention in the design of lighting fixtures.
The brand Artemide quickly became a leader in lighting design and manufacturing.
From its early days, the Artemide design house invested in international groups such as “Memphis” by Ettore Sottsass, a pioneer in the creation of contemporary lighting. Artemide has multiplied collaborations and successes: the Tizio lamp by Richard Sapper, the Dalù table lamp, the Nessino lamp by Artemide, designed by Giancarlo Mattioli, and the Artemide suspension also stands out among these iconic Artemide creations, blending innovative design with the retro style of the 1970s.
