Description

The Tizio lamp, designed by Richard Sapper for the Italian publisher Artemide, was created in 1972 and was revolutionary for its time. It was the first lamp to use a halogen bulb and featured a counterweight system that perfectly balanced the structure, allowing users to precisely position the light on the desired area with a simple hand gesture. In 1979, it was selected for the Compasso d'Oro award and later became part of the permanent collection at the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). The Tizio lamp has been continuously produced to this day and is now available in three models: Tizio, Tizio micro, or Tizio plus. Special editions have also been released, including a model entirely coated in red, the designer's favorite color.

The structure of the Tizio lamp consists of a cylindrical base made of ethylene-propylene and polystyrene, housing the transformer, and an integrated switch that allows for two different light intensities. The light emitted from the transformer is then transmitted through its two arms made of aluminum. Each arm is equipped with a counterweight made of molded zinc alloy, which balances the pendulum system. The spacing between the arms is enabled and maintained by chrome-plated steel bars that end with two molded thermoplastic insulators in red color. Its head, manufactured using die-cast aluminum, is also adjustable and features an internal reflector made of anodized aluminum.
