The Tolomeo’s gorgeous polished aluminium frame and base is accented by an anodised matt aluminium diffuser; a strikingly modern yet timeless design.
Its contemporary features and use of high-quality materials allow the functionality of the piece to be expressed. This energy-efficient LED version of the Tolomeo Table Lamp is particularly evocative of Artemide’s design philosophy, which is to provide answers and solutions to human problems.
Michele De Lucchi studied in Padua and later at the University of Florence, graduating in 1975. He designed furniture for Studio Alchimia and in the 80's for Memphis. He introduced geometric motifs on the plastic laminates used by Memphis. At the end of Memphis, he launched his own production 'Produzione Privata', free from all industrial constraint. De Lucchi gives a priority to the human aspects of creation and value to craftsmanship's work.
