Artemide Tolomeo Pinza – buy the Tolomeo with steel clamp online

No screws, no base – the Tolomeo Pinza for flexible attachment

The Artemide Tolomeo Pinza is the clamp version of the Tolomeo: instead of a base or wall mounting, it attaches with a steel clamp to shelves, desk edges, frames, or anywhere else a clamp can grip. This makes the Pinza the most versatile version of the Tolomeo family – quick to mount, quick to move, leaving no marks. Created in 1995 by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, the Pinza shares the material language and mechanism of the entire Tolomeo family: mounting bracket in polished aluminium, rotating head in matt anodised aluminium. Leuchtenland is an authorized Artemide dealer and stocks the Tolomeo Pinza in all current versions.

The Tolomeo Pinza at a glance

Tolomeo Pinza – the classic clamp lamp

The Tolomeo Pinza is the wall spot of the Tolomeo family with a steel clamp: head in matt anodised aluminium, rotatable and positionable in various directions, mounting bracket in polished aluminium, clamp foot in steel. The clamp grips securely on edges up to a defined thickness and leaves no permanent marks. Ideal for desk edges, shelves, bookshelves, or anywhere clamp attachment is possible.

Tolomeo Micro Pinza – the Pinza in miniature format

The Tolomeo Micro Pinza is the more compact clamp version – smaller than the standard Pinza, and like the Tolomeo Micro overall, available in many colours: aluminium, black, white, and special colours such as red, orange, blue, green, turquoise, bronze, and gold. The Micro Pinza is particularly suited to narrow shelves, bedside table edges, and other compact placement situations.

Pinza – with or without switch

Like the Tolomeo Faretto, the Tolomeo Pinza is also available in versions with and without an integrated switch. The integrated switch allows the lamp to be switched on and off directly at the lamp itself, independently of the mains switch – practical for temporary placements or for areas without direct access to a wall switch.

The Tolomeo Pinza compared to other Tolomeo versions

Within the Tolomeo family, the Pinza is the most flexibly deployable version:

• No permanent installation required – the clamp attaches and releases without tools
• No footprint on the table surface – the clamp grips the edge, leaving the table surface free
• Usable anywhere – on desks, shelves, frames, beds, tabletops
• Range of colours – the Micro version is available in numerous special colours

Typical applications for the Tolomeo Pinza

The Tolomeo Pinza is the right choice for anyone who wants to use the Tolomeo mechanism flexibly – without permanent installation. In a rented flat, on a desk with no suitable edge for a desk clamp, on a shelf as an accent lamp, on a bedside table as an alternative to a base.

Frequently asked questions about the Artemide Tolomeo Pinza

What does "Pinza" mean in the Tolomeo context?

"Pinza" means "clamp" or "pliers" in Italian. The Tolomeo Pinza is the clamp lamp of the Tolomeo family – it is attached to edges with a steel clamp, without a base and without wall mounting. Created in 1995 as a flexible alternative to the other Tolomeo versions.

What surfaces can the Tolomeo Pinza be attached to?

The steel clamp of the Tolomeo Pinza grips on desk edges, shelf boards, bed frames, and other edges up to a certain thickness. The exact clamping capacity is given on the respective product page. For very wide or irregularly shaped edges, we recommend checking the clamp opening in advance.

What is the difference between the Tolomeo Pinza and the Tolomeo Micro Pinza?

The Tolomeo Pinza is the standard clamp lamp; the Tolomeo Micro Pinza is the more compact, smaller version – with the added advantage of being available in many special colours (red, orange, blue, green, turquoise, bronze, gold, and more). Which version better suits your placement situation depends on the clamping surface and the desired appearance.

Does the clamp leave marks?

The steel clamp is designed for gentle gripping – with normal use on standard desk surfaces it leaves no permanent marks. On sensitive surfaces (e.g. solid wood without lacquer) we recommend placing a protective layer between the clamp and the surface.
