The Tolomeo incandescent desk lamp is an icon of Italian modern design. It was designed by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina in 1986 for the Artemide company. It won the Compasso d'Oro design prize in 1989.
Tolomeo is the Italian version of the name Claudius Ptolemy (Claudio Tolomeo), after whom the lamp is named.
It is sometimes considered as the successor of Artemide's Tizio lamp, with the advantages of a swiveling shade.
