DESCRIPTION
The Tizio desk lamp is made of aluminum, and both the arms and lamp head can be adjusted and balanced with counterweights.
In 1972, the Tizio table lamp by Richard Sapper was the first lamp with low-voltage halogen technology. Today, it is a multiple award-winning classic and is part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others. Its striking design, special technology and great mobility make it still one of the most popular Artemide lamps today.
The Italian word Tizio means "friend" and "buddy", a name that fits the uncomplicated and yet very masculine work lamp.
When Richard Sapper designed this lamp, his goal was to create the ideal desk lamp. It therefore has long arms, a small head and a stable base. All parts are connected by joints and can be adjusted in many positions. The small, square lamp head can be tilted so that glare-free, direct light can flow in the desired direction, making it perfect for working or reading. A counterweight system ensures stability in all positions – and gives the lamp a very clear silhouette, without visible springs or wires.
This enabled a linear and minimalist design, because the current is not conducted between the base and the lamp head via the cable, but via the arms themselves. The transformer, which converts the voltage from 230V to the required 12V, is located in the base.
Tizio is available in three sizes: Tizio, Tizio 35 and Tizio Micro. This lamp uses 1 halogen bulb. Light source not included.
