    In 1989, when the Tolomeo table/task was given the Compasso d'Oro award for Italian industrial design it was credited with having achieved the perfect marriage between design and engineering that works together in total "sync" to materialize an idea and create the perfect object for industrial production.

    Since then, the Tolomeo's award-winning design, engineering and performance features have been further refined in a complete series of models for table, floor, wall, track and suspension application.

    This is the classic table lamp. It features a fully-adjustable, articulated arm body structure in extruded, brilliant, natural anodized aluminum, white or black. For all finishes- joints, tension control knobs and mountings are polished die-cast aluminum, and cables are stainless steel. The 6" diameter diffuser is made of stamped, anodized matte aluminum, tiltable and 360 degree rotatable on lampholder with incorporated on/off switch.

    • Uses 1 X 100W max medium base incandescent bulb (not included).
    • Design: Michele De Lucchi, Giancarlo Fassina.

    Note: Lamp body is available in the listed color options - base is available in aluminum finish only.

    UL Listed. Generally in stock and available for immediate shipment.

    Wonderful reading lamp

    This is an elegantly simple, practical design. The arm articulates beatifully to any reasonable reading position. The base is extremely heavy and stable. Quality is superb. I would purchase this again, even at the high price.

    Very fine product.

    I purchased an Artimede Tolomeo desk lamp. Then I purchased five or so more. Great lamp. Perfect for readers.

    The best lamp

    I just purchased several classic Tolomeo Table lamps so that I could have different reading/working area. These lamps are beautiful in addition to being very functional. Highly recommended.

    Good lighting at last making my eyes and head happy.

    I love the design. The weight of the base makes it very stable.

    It is large enough and so easily adjusted as to give light where ever is needed in my corner "L" shaped desk in my study. I have not experienced problems with shadows or glare on my paper work.

    The pricing was a bit confusing.

    This is the second Tolomeo Classic table lamp we have purchased.

    We bought them for a graduation presents for our grandchildren. They like them a lots and think they are cool. They are very well made and target the light really well.

    Modern, classic, timeless desk lamp

    I actually ordered the "classic" table lamp first and it turned out to be way too large for a 50 inch desk. I now have the Micro Tolomeo Desk Lamp and it is perfect. The classic is a large lamp and needs a large space. Check dimensions before you order. In terms of the product, it is beautiful, functional, and looks great in almost any setting.

    Excellent Desk Task Lamp with a Spiral Florescent 26W Bulb

    High quality material and workmanship, excellent design, especially as you can position the lamp head smoothly into a vast number of positions. Can accommodate a 26 watt spiral fluorescent bulb, supplying sufficient foot-lamps for a task lamp. This is a major common flaw for most so called "desk task lamps".

    Spiral is much much cooler, so you can position the lamp-head very close to your work, and use a 20 watt spiral fluorescent bulb instead.

    Also like the opening in the top of the shade to supply a small amount of ambient light up towards ceiling, although I would like the opening to have been larger.

    To keep costs down, lamp base is only in polished aluminum.. chrome looking to me, and it appears to be

    scratched super easily, so I avoid placing anything on the 9 inch diameter stand.

    I would like available matching bases for the black lamp, white lamp, or one to match the dull aluminum shade, or a rubber covered one to match the power chord.

    Also..a great marketing idea would be to sell flat circle covers with a center cut out and a short slit behind the circle to change the covers of the base to fit the lamp, or one's desk decor. I plan to make my own cover.

    Finally, this lamp's arm reach is long enough to use on a night stand for reading while sitting up in your bed. It is large enough to replace a floor reading lamp, by having it on a table next to your favorite reading chair. Plug the lamp into a dimmer, and use a incandescent bulb, and it can be used as well as a low light nightstand lamp, but I wouldn't do that, as we all should go green, eventually you won;t be able to buy incandescent bulbs, and, I enjoy the lack of heat.

    This is a timeless classic desk lamp.

    It functions and sits pretty on my wife's home office desk!

    We also have two mini classic in our bedrooms.

    Solid, truly classic, beautiful construction

    This lamp is worth every penny -- beautifully constructed, holds its position, easy to put together.

    It's both beautifully designed and incredibly functional.

    I'm using the Tolomeo Classic table lamp with the desk clamp base. Having had other simple desk lamps in the past, I had no idea the gravity-defying positions I'd be able to contort the Tolomeo into. I'm a graphic designer, so on any given day I may be sketching in my notebook, assembling paste-ups, or working on the computer well into the night, and the Tolomeo has illuminated it all with great grace.

    The two lamps added the final touch to my family room.

    The Tolomeo Classic, a wonderful table lamp whose simplicity of design and striking beauty ensures that it will never go out of style.

    Very nice!

    This is a classic lamp that will look good for many years.

    Wonderful!

    These lamps are so flexible and attractive. They move fluidly but hold their position. The light can be focused upwards or downwards or any where in between- the head rotates 180 degrees. I have two- a full size and a mini, and I love them both.

    Excellent design and value

    I appreciate the sophisticated design, with a matching quality of materials. The lamp is very light, the base is very heavy, and the weight of each is proper for the function served. Also, the finish of the lamp looks as though it will last indefinitely. The product was well packaged and shipping was prompt with no mishaps.

    An excellent product in terms of design and finish, and reasonably priced.

    My wife and I are very pleased with our purchase of these two lamps for our bedside. Before finalising our order we had compared a large number of similar products -- in terms of quality, finish, convenience and price. After using our new lamps for over two weeks, we remain convinced that we made the right choice.

    Excellent quality! I've always wanted one of these...

    I've been a fan of Artemide lighting for some time now, and also love my Tizio. I had a hard time deciding between the Tolomeo Micro, Mini or Classic, but went for the full size Classic in the end. I'm pleased with this decision, but it's definitely a large desk lamp and not suitable for a small desk or office. You can alter the brightness of the lamp through use of different bulbs, however I would love this lamp just a bit more if it had two levels like the Tizio, or perhaps a dimmer switch...

    By: Alex, Homeowner  (Vancouver, BC)

    Stylish, functional Tolomeo looks terrific on my desk!

    YLighting shipped my lamp promptly and connecting the shade and arm to its 9" base was a snap. I have my Tolomeo on the desk in my home office. Its hinged design allows me to direct light wherever I need it, and nowhere else. Plus, it makes a drop-dead gorgeous companion to the MacBook Pro I work at.

    Here's a hint: A standard 100 watt bulb emits a lot of heat and leaves the shade warm to the touch -- a compact fluorescent bulb will provide the same brightness and leave the shade (and you) cool.

    The Tolomeo is pricey. But if you can afford it -- or have a stimulus check burning a hole in your pocket -- I highly recommend that you grace your desk or home office with this lamp.

    Remodel Housings
    In contrast to new construction housings, remodeling housings are appropriate when you have limited or no access to the space above a new fixture, such as in an apartment or a home without crawl spaces or attics above.
    New Construction Housings
    In contrast to remodeling housings, new construction housings are bulkier and need to be installed between joist beams or onto hangar bars and thus you need full access to the space above the fixture. This style is best used if you are building in a new space, gutting a room, or have an attic above or pop out ceiling, etc.
    IC Rated
    IC stands for: insulation contact. Thus, IC-rated housings can come in direct contact with thermal insulation.
    Non-IC Rated
    Non-IC stands for: non insulation contact. Thus, non-IC-rated housings must be kept at least 3 inches away from any insulation.
    MR16 Halogen Bulb
    MR 16 is a standard format for halogen multifaceted reflector light bulbs. MR16 lamps are regularly used in place of standard incandescent light bulbs as they harness and shoot light, resulting in less light loss than a traditional bulb. These are best used when you want focused light such as in a pendant over a countertop or an accent light on a painting.
    UL Listed
    UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, a non-profit company that tests electrical copmenents and equipment for potenital hazards. If something is UL-listed, I means it has met the agency's safety requirements for things like fire, shock hazards, etc. While you can buy and install non-UL listed fixtures, sometimes insurance policies will limit their liabilities accordingly, inspectors may not approve permits, etc.
    cUL Listed
    CUL stands for Underwriters Laboratories of Canada, a non-profit company that tests electrical copmenents and equipment for potenital hazards. If something is UL-listed, I means it has met the agency's safety requirements for things like fire, shock hazards, etc. While you can buy and install non-UL listed fixtures, sometimes insurance policies will limit their liabilities accordingly, inspectors may not approve permits, etc.
    Damp Location
    If the environment exposes the lighting system to moisture condensation, then the location is a damp location.. Lights that are approved for damp locations can be used in sheltered outdoor areas such as roofed porches or interior locations subject to moderated degrees of moisture such as basements.
    Wet Location
    If the lighting system is exposed to direct impact by water from splashing or dripping, which will make the fixture wet, then the location is a wet location. Your most common wet locations are uncovered outdoor areas.
    Baffle Trim
    The term Baffle refers to the groved style of the trim. This trim is the most popular choice of all recessed lighting trims and is best used in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and dens.
