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).
