Few lights in the history of design have achieved what Tolomeo has: remaining just as relevant almost 40 years after its launch. Designed in 1987 by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, Tolomeo quickly became one of the most recognizable lamps in the world — and the Tolomeo Faretto brings that same philosophy to the wall of your home.
The Tolomeo Faretto mounts directly onto the wall via a sleek bracket, but its head remains fully articulated; it tilts, swivels and rotates just like the beloved table lamp version. Want to light a painting? A reading chair? A specific corner of the room? You move it, and the light follows. No tools, no fuss.
That intuitive flexibility is what makes it at home in a private bedroom just as comfortably as in a boutique hotel suite or a design-led workspace.
In the LED version, Tolomeo Faretto offers 6W or 8W, with an output of up to 761 lumens enough to fill a corner with warm, directed light without tiring the eye. You can choose between 2700K for a softer, more relaxing atmosphere, and 3000K for a cleaner, more active light.
And if you want full control over the intensity, the version with a dimmable switch gives you exactly that: the right light for every moment of the day.
The slender aluminium arm, the tension-cable structure, the precise industrial silhouette, almost nothing about the Tolomeo has changed since its launch. Not because Artemide forgot to update it, but because there was nothing to fix. It was right from the beginning.
The Tolomeo Faretto isn't a tribute to a classic. It is the classic now on your wall.
