This lamp explores mechanical clarity and movement. Constructed from aluminum rods, PETG joints, and paracord, it takes formal and structural cues from Artemide’s Tolomeo and Tizio designs. While the overall form aligns with the Tizio, the tension and pivot system reference the Tolomeo. The design offers a wider range of motion through simplified joints and reduced weight. All components remain exposed to emphasize legibility, repairability, and function.

The project began as a replacement for a broken desk lamp. Early research focused on LED dies and driver configurations capable of producing soft, continuous light. The initial plan for a reactive brightness system was abandoned due to cost and control limitations. The final version employs an acceleration-based rotary control that enables smooth, analog light adjustment without PWM flicker. The use of an analog LED driver allows gradual fades that resemble natural light. The structure, inspired by Tolomeo but unintentionally approaching the flexibility of Tizio, results in a lighter and more adaptable mechanism than either reference.
