Artemide - Michele De Lucchi, Giancarlo Fassina - Table lamp - Tolomeo mini - Metal, Aluminium - Nero

Artemide Tolomeo Mini desk lamp, in an elegant black finish, designed by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina.

Tolomeo is one of the absolute icons of contemporary Italian design. Designed in 1987, the Tolomeo family has become famous for its refined articulated arm system and for the balance between engineering, functionality and aesthetics.

The Mini Tolomeo version preserves all the design characteristics of the renowned Tolomeo desk lamp, but in a more compact size. Artemide itself describes the Mini as a version that keeps the dimensions of the original diffuser while reducing the length of the arms.

The structure features movable aluminum arms, supports and joints in brushed aluminum and a matte black anodized aluminum diffuser. The spring balance system allows easy adjustment of the diffuser position and to orient the light as needed.

The exemplar proposed comprises the lamp body in black A005940 and the black tabletop base A008610, with a diameter of 20 cm. The two codes constitute the complete table configuration.

The lamp uses a light source with E27 fitting, allowing the use of modern retrofit LED bulbs. It is therefore not a lamp with integrated LED: the source is replaceable.

Design and recognitions
The Tolomeo project originated in 1987 from the collaboration between Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina and has become one of the most important projects in Artemide’s history.
The Tolomeo family has received numerous international awards, including the prestigious Compasso d’Oro in 1989.
Tolomeo Mini represents a particularly versatile declination of the original project: its more compact dimensions make it suitable for desks, work tables, nightstands and domestic or professional environments, while maintaining the unmistakable articulated arm mechanism that characterizes the collection.
