Artemide desk lamp Tolomeo Tavolo

Originating from the design metropolis Milan, the architecturally graceful Artemide designer lamps first appeared in 1960 an since gone on to worldwide popularity and success. A fact no doubt partly due to the fact that the company has long set a focus on cooperation with talented international designers, such as, amongst others, Richard Sapper or Michele De Lucchi, and by the fact the resulting designs emit a timeless elegance and geometric shapes. In addition to the highest aesthetic standards, with its "Human Light" concept Artemide also pursues a design philosophy that puts human needs at the centre of designs. Operation, luminosity and application follow as personalized strategies. Moreover Artemide tries to ensure that all its products - from the production to use - follow principles of ecological sustainability and minimal environmental impact. Among the most famous Artemide designer lamps is arguably the Tolomeo Tavolo by De Lucchi & Giancarlo Fassina, which is available as a floor, desk, and wall lamp, and as the Tolomeo Micro, a lamp which has the same proportions, but measures only half the size and which is available in a wide colour spectrum.

"Light is a unique energy. Light makes the world visible and supports the perception of spaces, interacts with life, with psychological and physiological well-being, communicates with the environment through intelligence, can transmit data and information. Through the results of Artemide's research, light can now also sanitize spaces and bring people back to experience them together."
