Vintage Italian Tizio Table Lamp by Richard Sapper for Artemide, 1972 – Modernist Adjustable Desk Lamp
Iconic Vintage Italian Tizio table lamp, designed in 1972 by Richard Sapper for Artemide. First introduced in 1972, the celebrated Tizio model is renowned for its innovative engineering and clean Modernist aesthetic. Featuring dual counterweights, the lamp can be effortlessly adjusted by simply pushing or pulling the arms, allowing the light to stay precisely in the desired position.
A groundbreaking design of its time, the Tizio’s articulated arms also conduct electricity directly to the bulb—an early and influential use of halogen lighting beyond the automotive industry. A small integrated reflector works with the light source to create a highly concentrated, functional beam, making it perfect as a desk lamp, studio light, or reading lamp.
