Present in the collections of many modern art museums around the world (including MoMA), the Tizio Desk lamp is a design classic designed by Richard Sapper in 1972. Selected in 1979 for the Compasso d'Oro award, Tizio is a major piece in the Artemide collection, which has built its success as much on its technical prowess as on its stylistic lines, which left their mark on the 70s.
Tizio's operation was revolutionary at the time of its creation: the lamp's Base, legs act as a base and Adapter to reduce the voltage from 220 to 12 volts. The very low-voltage current is then distributed to the Mounting, then to the two articulated arms fitted with counterweights, to finally power the light source. Tizio's arms carry the electricity to the bulb, eliminating unsightly cables and creating a clean, uncluttered look.
Tizio reflects a balance between aesthetics and functionality. A table lamp that remains a marvel of modern design. The two counterweights allow the user to direct the light at will. The Lamp adjusts with a pull or a push of the hand.
