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 anyone expecting a bulb in the box: the bulb versions take · 60W max, E26 bulb, 100W max, · 150W max or · 100W max and the bulb is not included.
Our pick: Aluminum with Bulb, E26 · 100W max. That version ships from Artemide in 2–4 weeks.
