Tolomeo Lettura - the design icon for reading
The Tolomeo Lettura from Artemide is an icon of Italian design and was created in 1987 by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina. It embodies the perfect harmony of functionality and purist aesthetics. The slender aluminum body not only lends the luminaire elegance, but also lightness and stability - characteristics that have made it a world-famous classic for decades.
A characteristic feature is the innovative articulated arm and spring system, which allows flexible adjustment of height and inclination. This allows the light to be directed with pinpoint accuracy, ideal for reading and working areas. The Lettura version is distinguished by its base structure with an extended lower arm and a single joint, making it particularly suitable as a reading lamp next to a sofa or armchair.
The Tolomeo has won numerous awards and is still considered a masterpiece of modern design - a piece of design history that is both an inspiration and a practical companion.
