Description: Designed by Richard Sapper for Artemide in the 1970s, the Tizio lamp embodies the brilliance of Italian postmodern design and engineering. Its counterbalanced arms, connected by sleek steel tension cables, allow for effortless adjustment and perfect light positioning without visible wires. Crafted from aluminum and technopolymer, the lamp’s minimalist construction remains both visually striking and mechanically ingenious. The weighted base houses the transformer, showcasing Sapper’s seamless integration of function and form. Preserved in its original vintage condition, this piece remains a celebrated icon of innovative 20th-century Italian lighting design.
Fun Historical Fact: When the Tizio lamp debuted in 1972, it was revolutionary for using a halogen bulb powered through its own structure—eliminating the need for traditional wiring. Its radical design won multiple awards and became a permanent part of the MoMA collection, marking a turning point in the evolution of modern task lighting.
