The Design Story
An extension to the iconic Tolomeo family, Tolomeo with shade features the same arm balancing body system as the Tolomeo table lamp combined with a selection of parchment or fabric shades, giving a warmer and more transitional look to the original version.
Meet the Designers
Michele De Lucchi (born 1951 in Ferrara) is an Italian architect and designer and was a member of the Memphis group in the 1980s. With Giancarlo Fassina he designed the Tolomeo in 1987, which won the Compasso d'Oro in 1989 and grew into a whole family, from Micro to Mega.
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.
Famous on Screen
Look closely at M's desk in the James Bond film Skyfall (2012): that is a Tolomeo Basculante table lamp. Few lamps say "serious work happens here" quite like a Tolomeo.
Why You'll Love It
- Mount it on a S-shaped wall bracket or on a J-shaped wall bracket.
- Fully adjustable, articulated arms.
- Shade remains vertical regardless of arm angle.
- Wall support, joints, canopy and arm in polished aluminum. -Diffuser with aluminum frame in parchment paper or in pale grey satin.
Made for Real Life
Perfect for bedside reading, hallways, living rooms and offices; anywhere floor and table space is tight. Good to know: the bulb versions need E26 bulbs, which are not included, it is made for dry indoor rooms and an electrician should hardwire it.

Questions We Hear Most
Base, clamp or pivot: which way should I mount the Tolomeo With Shade?
A base lets you move the lamp anywhere; a clamp frees up the whole desktop; an inset pivot is the most permanent and cleanest look, set into a hole in the desk. Pick the one that matches how you work (our advice).
When will my Tolomeo With Shade ship?
Standard delivery: leaves Artemide's warehouse in 2–4 weeks, plus transit time. We email your confirmed ship date after you order.
Is the Tolomeo the lamp on M's desk in Skyfall?
Yes: M's desk at MI6 in Skyfall (2012) has a Tolomeo Basculante table lamp.
Is a bulb included with the Tolomeo With Shade?
No. The bulb versions take E26 bulb, 8W max. A warm 2700K LED bulb gives the most natural glow (our advice).
How do I dim or switch the Tolomeo With Shade?
On/off (on lampholder), according to Artemide.

Our Designer's Pick
✔ Designer's Pick◆ Design Icon🇮🇹 Made in ItalyDesigned by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina🎬 Seen in Skyfall (2012)✓ cULus listed5-year Artemide warranty
The Tolomeo is the lamp we recommend most often. It is endlessly adjustable, quietly beautiful in plain aluminum, and there is a version for almost every corner of a home.
Perfect for bedside reading, hallways, living rooms and offices; anywhere floor and table space is tight.
Maybe not 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.
