Tolomeo Micro table lamps by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina for Artemide

Select Artemide products are now on SALE until December 31st. Which products? All the best ones of course. The classic Tolomeo and Tizio, Melampo family, and the Castore and Dioscuri table lamps are all featured at up to 34% off.

Tolomeo Micro table lamps by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina for Artemide

The Tolomeo, designed in 1999 is a hugely versatile light and come in various shapes and sizes. Shown above, the Tolomeo Micro, is the smallest version of this lamp and is available in several bright accent colours. This light became an instant design classic and can be spotted adorning the desks of architects and design savvy students alike.

Tizio table lamp by Richard Sapper for Artemide

The Tizio is a wonder of balance. This light can be maneuvered in all kinds of surprising directions, and its perfectly weighted arms and base will never fail. It also gives off a beautiful warm halogen glow that suits any office or living space.

As shown above, the Melampo family has a secret. The unique shade design allows the shade to lock into place facing downwards, at an angle, and pointing straight up. This provides either direct, indirect, or ambient lighting.

Castore Table Lamp collection by Michele De Lucchi for Artemide

Like upside down droplets of frosted water, the Castore table lamps by Michele De Lucchi are another Artemide classic. These lights come in various sizes and feature a touch technology that allows you to turn the light off and on, and adjust brightness all by the touch of a finger.

Dioscuri Table Lamp collection by Michele De Lucchi for Artemide

Dioscuri, also designed by De Lucchi, are similar to Castore in shape and finish but without the tall stand and round base. These lamps are simply beautiful glowing orbs that sit directly on the surface supporting them. Varying in price from $210-483 during the sale, this is a great time to add a little (or large) glow to your space.
