Artemide Tizio 50th Anniversary Edition Table Lamp Red
Tizio is a table lamp designed by Richard Sapper in 1970 and produced by Artemide in 1972. Tizio is not only a masterpiece of Artemide collection but also an icon of Italian design. The Tizio is made of aluminium and plastic, with a current-conducting structure and adjustable thanks to counterweights. This is a rare special polished version.
To mark the completion of fifty years since its launch, Artemide re-releases the lamp in white and another new colour, red. Red is both the colour of Artemide’s logo and the tone used by Sapper to accentuate many of his designs. On this occasion, Richard Sapper’s daughter Carola Sapper fondly remembers the many values that her father imbibed in her and inspired in fellow designers: “My father was a man of strong moral principles. Professionally, he was a curious man, he liked exploring and discovering new things, he believed in improving life through innovation and form. He worked on his designs to the point where he saw no more room for improvement, he strived for perfection, all the while enjoying it immensely!”
Designers : Richard Sapper
Producer: Artemide
Manufactured : Italy
Design Year: 1972

Type: Table Light
Revolutionary and innovative, Artemide's Tizio collection is considered an icon of Italian design. Designed by Richard Sapper in 1972, the Tizio lamp combines elegance, aesthetic harmony and lighting precision. This functional yet beautiful table lamp has been lighting up desks in homes, offices and public spaces for 50 years while still preserving its contemporary soul.
Tizio by Artemide, the highest symbol of functionalism, a timeless object exhibited in the most important international museums and the star of offices all over the world. This marvelous creation was born from a conversation between Ernesto Gismondi and Richard Sapper, with the aim of creating a new work lamp. The result is a wonderfully flexible and elegant lamp. The design of the Tizio lamp, apparently simple, hides major engineering skills: Richard Sapper designed a table lamp made up of about 100 elements joined together without screws, but simply using pressure. A well planned choice since, in case of a fall, the parts are very easy to reassemble. With the simple pressure of the hand, the lighting body of the Tizio lamp can be configured into different positions each time, providing a direct and adjustable light. Its real peculiarity is the absence of electrical cables between the light bulb and the base: in fact, the power flows through its arms, which act as conductors. Given the excellent result, Ernesto Gismondi suggested the name "Tizio" to Richard Sapper, to refer to the idea of a wonderful lamp, able to convince "Tizio, Caio and Sempronio" (the Italian for "Tom, Dick and Harry").
