With its graceful arms and the cone-shaped lampshade became an absolute classic of contemporary design. It is a member of the multiple award-winning Tolomeo family from Artemide. This light also received, for instance, the renowned Red Dot Award for its well-proportioned design. The lampshade of the parchment version is made of a translucent and bright parchment paper that is stabilised with the aid of synthetic film; the lampshade is available with a diameter of 32 cm, 36 cm or 42 cm. Moreover, the Tolomeo Mega floor lamp made of fine aluminium can be obtained with a satin shade. The original model of the Tolomeo series, the Tolomeo Tavolo from Artemide, was first introduced to the public at the “Euroluce” light trade fair in Milan in 1987 and it instantly turned out to be a great success. This was additionally confirmed two years later when its creators Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina were awarded the coveted Compasso d’Oro award.
