Artemide Tolomeo Sospensione – buy the Tolomeo as a pendant lamp online

The iconic Tolomeo design from the ceiling – the Sospensione for dining tables and living areas

The Artemide Tolomeo Sospensione transforms the Tolomeo into a pendant lamp: suspended from the ceiling, with the characteristic conical shade of the originals – in aluminium, parchment paper, or silk satin. "Sospensione" means "suspension" in Italian – and describes how the lamp brings the Tolomeo design language up to the ceiling. Whether above a dining table, in the kitchen, or as a room lamp in a large living area: the Tolomeo Sospensione is the most logical extension of the family into the third dimension. Leuchtenland is an authorized Artemide dealer and stocks the Tolomeo Sospensione in all available versions.

The Tolomeo Sospensione at a glance

Tolomeo Sospensione – with classic aluminium shade

The Tolomeo Sospensione with the classic conical aluminium shade is the purist version: the appearance mirrors the desk lamp, only hanging from the ceiling. Precise, directed light downwards – ideal above dining tables and kitchen islands where the light should fall in a targeted way onto the surface.

Tolomeo Sospensione with parchment shade

The version with a parchment shade offers a warmer, more diffuse light quality than the aluminium version. The shade is available in diameters of 24, 32, or 36 cm – depending on table size and room situation. The parchment material scatters the light slightly and creates a warm atmosphere that is particularly atmospheric above a dining table.

Tolomeo Sospensione with silk satin shade

The silk satin version is available in grey or black and has a more modern, understated look than the parchment model. Shade diameter: 24, 32, or 36 cm. For contemporary interiors where a darker or grey shade harmonises better with the furnishings.

Tolomeo Mega Sospensione – the large pendant version

The Tolomeo Mega Sospensione, created in 2007, is the most expansive pendant version: shade diameter 42 or 52 cm, in parchment or silk satin. Delicate suspension arm in aluminium and transparent methacrylate – no joints, elegant and calm. For large rooms, high ceilings, and tables above which a pendant lamp with real presence is called for.

Tolomeo Sospensione Due Bracci – the two-shade version

The Tolomeo Sospensione Due Bracci (created in 2005) is a special version: two shades hang from a height-adjustable rod, the arms can be directed independently via spring balance, and the shades remain vertical regardless. Shade diameter 24, 32, 36, or 42 cm, in parchment or silk satin. For long dining tables or kitchen islands that need more than one point of light.

The Tolomeo as a pendant lamp – what makes it special

The Tolomeo Sospensione is not a simple pendant lamp – it brings the entire Tolomeo design language upwards:

• The same material language – polished aluminium, matt anodised shade or parchment/silk satin
• Various shade sizes – 24 cm to 52 cm, suitable for small to large tables
• Versions for every style – aluminium for the modern look, parchment for a homely feel, silk satin for the contemporary
• Height-adjustable – the suspension rod can be adapted to the room height

Lighting concept above the dining table

The Tolomeo Sospensione is one of the few pendant lamps that works equally well as a single piece above a round table and as a multiple arrangement (Due Bracci or several Sospensioni side by side) above a long dining table. Combined with a Tolomeo Tavolo on the sideboard and a Tolomeo Parete in the living area, it creates a consistent lighting concept from a single family.

Artemide – light design from Milan since 1960

Artemide was founded in Milan in 1960. The Tolomeo family, designed in 1987 by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina and awarded the Compasso d'Oro in 1989, has expanded over the decades to cover every lamp category. The Tolomeo Sospensione is proof that the Tolomeo concept also works as a pendant lamp – without losing any design consistency.

Frequently asked questions about the Artemide Tolomeo Sospensione

What is the Tolomeo Sospensione?

The Tolomeo Sospensione is the pendant lamp of the Tolomeo family by Artemide. It hangs from the ceiling and carries the characteristic conical Tolomeo shade – in aluminium, parchment, or silk satin. Available in various shade sizes (24–52 cm) and several material versions, also as the Mega Sospensione and Due Bracci.

Which shade size is suitable for which table size?

As a guide: a shade diameter of 24 cm is suited to small tables or as a single spot; 32–36 cm is ideal for a standard dining table (4–6 people); 42–52 cm works well above large tables and in generous rooms. If you are unsure, we are happy to advise – with your table dimensions and room size we can give a precise recommendation.

At what height should the Tolomeo Sospensione hang above the dining table?

As a rule of thumb: the lower edge of the shade should hang approximately 60–80 cm above the table surface at normal ceiling height. With the Tolomeo Sospensione, the hanging height is adjustable via the length of the cable/rod. The exact setting depends on ceiling height, shade size, and personal preference.

What is the Tolomeo Mega Sospensione?

The Tolomeo Mega Sospensione (2007) is the large version of the pendant lamp: shade diameter 42 or 52 cm, in parchment or silk satin. It is more delicate in its suspension (aluminium and transparent methacrylate) and has no joints – more elegant, calmer in appearance. For large rooms with high ceilings and large dining tables.
