Artemide Tolomeo Mega Floor – the iconic Tolomeo in a softer floor version
The Tolomeo Mega Floor by Artemide takes the precision of the original Tolomeo and gives it a larger, more relaxed role in the interior. It is not simply a task lamp made taller. It is a floor lamp designed for living rooms, reading corners, bedrooms, lounges and hospitality spaces where light needs to be flexible but also warm and visually comfortable.
The articulated arm system allows the lamp to be adjusted in height and tilt, making it easy to bring the light closer to a sofa, an armchair or a side table. This flexibility is what makes Tolomeo more than a recognizable design object. It is a lamp that follows the way people actually use a room.
A larger diffuser for a softer presence
In the Mega version, the traditional aluminium head is replaced by a balanced diffuser, available in three sizes. This gives the lamp a different character from the more technical Tolomeo versions. The light feels softer, more spread out and better suited to residential and hospitality interiors.
Placed next to a sofa, Tolomeo Mega Floor can define a reading area. In a bedroom or suite, it can offer a more comfortable lighting layer. In a lounge or professional interior, it adds a known design signature without becoming too formal or decorative.
A design classic that still works every day
Tolomeo was designed in 1987 by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina has been part of Italian design history since 1987. The Mega Floor version keeps that mechanical clarity, but brings it into a softer and more generous scale.
For architects and interior designers, it is a reliable choice when a project needs an adjustable floor lamp with a strong design identity. For the everyday user, it offers something very simple and valuable: beautiful light that can move, adapt and make a corner of the room feel properly used.
