Building on the success of the Tolomeo desk lamp created by Michele de Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, Artemide has launched a smaller, coloured version that has the same characteristics as its larger predecessor, but with a less powerful light source. Tolomeo Micro features a polished aluminium articulated arm structure and a spring-loaded balancing system for articulation. Its maximum length when unfolded is 73cm. The diffuser, which can be swivelled in all directions, is made of anodised aluminium, and the ball joints and brackets are made of polished aluminium. This lamp is available in several colours: anodised red, black, and orange, making it suitable for office spaces as well as bedside tables.
In 1959, Ernesto Gismondi combined Engineering and Design and founded Artemide. His motto "The Human Light" represents humans and their well-being, and he centres his attention on both these things when designing lighting solutions. The Artemide brand rapidly became the leader in lighting design and manufacturing. As soon as it was set up, Artemide manufacturing was involved in international groups such as "Memphis" by Ettore Sotsass, a pioneer in the manufacture of contemporary lighting. Artemide entered into further collaborations and the successes mounted up. The brand represents the expertise and quality of Italian design, resulting in timeless creations that leave deep impressions and stand the test of time.
