When the Tolomeo Desk Lamp (1987) was honored with the Compasso d'Oro Award in 1989, the lamp was recognized for achieving the perfect marriage of design and engineering. Since then, the Tolomeo Collection has grown to include an assortment of sizes and colors. The Tolomeo design begins with a heavy base and ends with a matte anodized aluminum diffuser that swivels 360 degrees and can be easily turned with a cool-to-the-touch steel handle. In between, the lamp's multi-arm body adjusts by loosening and tightening the central and bottom joints, and steel tension cables provide infinite positions in which the lamp can be held. The Mega comes with a 17" parchment shade that reaches far over a sofa or bed. Bulb (not included): incandescent 150W/E26/G40.
