Winner of the Compasso d'Oro award, the Artemide Tolomeo lamp by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina is now one of the most recognized and appreciated lamps in the world of design. The Tolomeo Micro, a more compact version of the iconic model, retains the proportions and functionality of the original while adapting perfectly to smaller spaces. With the Color Matte collection, Tolomeo Micro is renewed with a palette of new shades, where color becomes an expressive language that enhances interiors. Traditionally anodized, this edition is now fully painted, giving a fresh and contemporary look to one of Artemide's most iconic lamps.
In 1959, Ernesto Gismondi combines engineering and design and founds Artemide. His motto “The Human Light” represents Man and his well-being, which are at the center of attention during the design of lighting. The brand Artemide very quickly becomes the leader of lighting design and its manufacturing. The publishing house Artemide invests from its beginnings in international groups such as “Memphis” by Ettore Sotsass, a forerunner in the manufacturing of contemporary lighting. Artemide chains collaborations and the successes multiply with: the Nessino Artemide lamp, designed by Giancarlo Mattioli, the Artemide suspension, and the Artemide desk lamp is also part of these iconic creations by Artemide, combining innovative design and retro style from the 70s.
