About the designers

Michele De Lucchi (born 1951 in Ferrara) is an Italian architect and designer and was a member of the Memphis group in the 1980s. With Giancarlo Fassina he designed the Tolomeo in 1987, which won the Compasso d'Oro in 1989 and grew into a whole family, from Micro to Mega.

Giancarlo Fassina is an Italian designer and a longtime Artemide collaborator. His technical precision was key to the Tolomeo, which he co-designed with Michele De Lucchi in 1987.

On screen & in museums

Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina's Tolomeo (1987) is one of the best-known task lamps in the world, and it has a screen career too.

Our Lighting Advisor's Verdict

★ Lighting Advisor's Verdict◆ Design Icon🏆 Award Winner🇮🇹 Made in ItalyDesigned by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina★ Compasso d'Oro ADI 1989🎬 Seen in Skyfall (2012)✓ cULus listedDimmable5-year Artemide warranty

The Tolomeo is the most practical design icon we sell: the arm goes exactly where you need it and stays there, and the family covers nearly every situation, from a bedside reading light to a big floor lamp.

Choose it for bedside reading, hallways, living rooms and offices; anywhere floor and table space is tight.

Not ideal for bathrooms, showers, covered porches or outdoor spaces: it is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations.

Our pick: Aluminum with LED 10W · 3000K, for integrated LED, so there are no bulbs to buy and 3000K light, warm but clear. That version ships from Artemide in 2–4 weeks.
