Description
Overview
Tolomeo Basculante Floor is a floor lamp of the Tolomeo range, by Giancarlo Fassina and Michele De Lucchi. It retains the system of spring-balanced arms, which lets the light be moved to any position with great ease, and swaps the aluminium head for a balanced diffuser.
Materials
Aluminium and steel, with a diffuser in parchment paper (natural) or silk satin fabric (grey). The diffuser normally used stays vertical whatever the angle of the arm.
Specifications
7.5 W, 816 lm, 220-240 V, IP20. No light source is supplied; an LED retrofit with an E27 socket and a maximum of 8 W is specified.
