The Artemide Tolomeo was first created in 1986 and it fast became popular as an image-booster during the dot.com boom. To have an Artemide Tolomeo in the office was a status symbol and a sign of extreme class and high design consciousness.

This popular icon has been revamped in many ways since the original design and many different sizes of the Artemide Tolomeo have become popular, including the Artemide Tolomeo Mega – a floor lamp that has character and style enough to chagne the impression of any room in the house.

This lamp and Artemide’s commitment to quality has won Artemide many awards and accolades over the years.
