Tolomeo Faretto

The Tolomeo Faretto belongs to the successful Tolomeo lamp collection created by the designers Giancarlo Fassina and Michele De Lucchi for the Italian lighting manufacturer Artemide. The small wall light is particularly applicable as practical, space-saving bedside lamp; however the design and aluminium look are both timeless and classic, thus allowing the lamp to be used in many situations. Thanks to the adjustable optical head the focussed light is suitable both as a reading aid or, and directed upwards, as indirect lighting. The Italian lighting manufacturer Artemide is renowned for its high-quality products "Made in Italy". Based near Milan a guiding principle of Artemide is the "The Human Light" concept, a theory which follows the belief that light subconsciously affects human emotions and well being and thus not only is the light source important when designing a space but also the activity to be undertaken in the room must be carefully considered - the Artemide Tolomeo Faretto provides a particularly good example of the Artemide's understanding of such.
