Giancarlo Fassina is an Italian designer and a longtime Artemide collaborator. His technical precision was key to the Tolomeo, which he co-designed with Michele De Lucchi in 1987.

The Tolomeo is the most practical design icon we sell: the arm goes exactly where you need it and stays there, and the family covers nearly every situation, from a bedside reading light to a big floor lamp.
Choose it for reading chairs, sofas and living rooms; studios that need light without a ceiling fixture.
Not ideal for anyone expecting a bulb in the box: the bulb versions take E26 bulb, 8W max and the bulb is not included.
Our pick: Aluminum / Fiber. That version ships from Artemide in 2–4 weeks.
