Artemide Tolomeo Micro table lamp, copper

Artemide Tolomeo designer table lamp in a brushed copper finish Another highlight from the Tolomeo light series by Artemide: the Tolomeo Micro table lamp is the more compact and smaller version of the classic desk lamp. Thanks to its space-saving dimensions, it fits on any desk or side table, no matter how small. In its normal working position, the desk lamp is 37 cm high and 45 cm deep. The Tolomeo Micro also impresses with the same attributes as its big brother: the flexible joints allow the lampshade to be individually adjusted, providing precise illumination as required. The Tolomeo table lamp has been honoured with various international design awards, including the "Compasso d'Oro" (1989) and the "Observeur du design" (2001). The designer and architect Michele de Lucchi developed the Tolomeo luminaire series over 30 years ago together with the architect Giancarlo Fassina. A mechanism that de Lucchi had seen among fishermen in Apulia served as the inspiration for the later shape 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 not until Giancarlo Fassinas intervened that this was rectified and the Tolomeo was launched on the market. A light source with an E14 base is included.
