Description
Overview
Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina designed the Tolomeo; Tolomeo Basculante Reading Floor is its floor version with arms that stay spring-balanced. A balanced diffuser replaces the aluminium head, and the light it gives is a soft glow.
Construction
Aluminium and steel, with a diffuser of parchment paper (A014600, Natural) or silk satin fabric (A014610, Grey). As the arm angle changes, the diffuser stays vertical.
Specifications
Base diameter 230 mm. Body lamps A014600 and A014610: 7.5 W, 816 lm, CRI 80, 220-240 V, IP20.
