Artemide “Tizio” Adjustable Desk Lamp by Richard Sapper, Italy, 1970s

Located in Hannover, DE

An iconic masterpiece of modern design: the legendary Tizio desk lamp by Artemide, designed by Richard Sapper in 1972. This revolutionary lighting object is widely regarded as one of the most important design classics of the 20th century and is part of major museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art.  The Tizio stands out through its groundbreaking engineering and unmistakable sculptural presence. Its elegant system of counterbalanced arms allows for effortless, precise positioning with just one hand, while maintaining perfect stability in any position.  What makes this lamp truly exceptional is its innovative construction: electricity flows through the arms themselves, eliminating visible wires and enhancing its clean, minimalist aesthetic. Originally developed using halogen technology, the Tizio was a technical revolution of its time and remains a benchmark for functional design today.  With its striking, architectural form and exceptional adjustability, this lamp is far more than a functional object—it is a true statement piece for modern interiors. Whether placed on a desk, in a study, or within a curated living space, the Tizio commands attention while delivering highly focused, adaptable light. ⸻ Details * Manufacturer: Artemide * Designer: Richard Sapper * Model: Tizio * Origin: Italy * Design period: 1970s (first introduced 1972)  * Material: Metal / aluminum * Color: Black * Height: approx. 119 cm  * Base diameter: approx. 11 cm  * Light source: Halogen bulb (low-voltage system) ⸻ Condition Very good vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age and use. ⸻ Technical Note Please note: This lamp is designed for the European power grid (220–240V).

Dalu Table Lamp by Vico Magistretti for Artemide

By Vico Magistretti, Artemide

Located in London, GB

This rare table lamp was designed by Vico Magistretti for the Italian manufacture Artemide during the 1960s, it is one of 2 that we currently have in stock. The lamp is made from one main piece of white plastic. Dalù is one a wonderful expression of Magistretti’s design ethos and reflects his belief that beauty and everyday functionality should be equally important in the object. Vico Magistretti was born in Milan. He attended Parini High School before he enrolled in the Regio Politecnico Faculty of Architecture in Milan in the fall of 1939. In 1943-1944 he moved to Switzerland, where he attended several academic courses at the Champ Universitarie Italien in Lausanne. It was then that he spent time with Ernesto Nathan Rogers, who had a key influence on his intellectual education. In 1945 he returned to Milan, where he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Polytechnic University. He immediately started working for his father's company, the architect Piergiulio Magistretti, in via Conservatorio. The 1950s were a very busy and fruitful period for the young architect, who came up with many innovative ideas and very quickly became one of the most outstanding representatives of the third generation. Over the next few years he worked as a designer as well as an architect, creating furniture and objects that will always be classics of contemporary production. It was then that he was awarded the Golden Compass for the Eclisse lamp (1967).He then started working with important companies such as Artemide, Campeggi, Cassina, De Padova, Flou, Fontana Arte, Fritz Hansen, Kartell, Olivari, Oluce, Poggi, Schiffini Mobili Cucine and Gebrüder Thonet Vienna. His design works are in the permanent collection of MoMA - Museum of Modern Art in New York and in many other museums in America and Europe. In the field of architecture, it is worth mentioning his nomination as an honorary member of the Royal College of Art in London, where he was also a visiting professor. He also participated in exhibitions and conferences in Europe, Japan and the USA. Established in the 1960s, Artemide is one of the most famous lighting brands in the world. Known for its philosophy, The Human Light...
