The design
It is beautiful, it is desirable, it is timeless, it is forever young – and it is a design legend: the Italian architects Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina designed the Tolomeo lamps for Artemide in 1987. Michele De Lucchi got his inspiration for the mechanism from observing anglers with their “trabucchi”, the fishing nets of Apulia whose rods, with the nets attached, are held in place by ropes. In 1989, the Tolomeo lamp was awarded the Compasso d'Oro design prize – today it can be found on the desks of brilliant minds and in the world’s most important museums.
