Tolomeo desk lamp

Michele de Lucchi

Giancarlo Fassina

An icon of Italian design and the result of the vision of designers Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, the Tolomeo lamp was launched in 1987. It embodies the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. The Tolomeo design is characterized by clean, minimalist lines and an aluminum structure. This material gives the lamp not only a modern and sophisticated look, but also remarkable lightness and robustness. One of the Tolomeo’s distinctive features is its articulated arm system. Thanks to an innovative spring mechanism, the lamp can be easily adjusted in height and tilt, ensuring great flexibility of use. Timeless elegance and impeccable functionality have made it one of the most famous lamps in the world, earning numerous international awards. This lamp is not just a lighting fixture, but a true design masterpiece that continues to inspire and fascinate generations of beauty enthusiasts. In the Basculante version, the iconic Tolomeo maintains the spring-articulated arm system that allows the light to be moved to any position with ease, but the aluminum head has been replaced by a balanced diffuser that projects a soft glow into the environment.

About the Designer

Giancarlo Fassina

After graduating in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Giancarlo Fassina (Milan, 1935–Milan, 2019) quickly specialized in lighting design.

Throughout his career, he collaborated with several major companies in the lighting sector and created numerous installations for exhibitions and museums. In 1989, together with Michele De Lucchi, he won the Compasso d’Oro award for the design of the Tolomeo lamp by Artemide.
