Tizio Table Lamp

By Richard Sapper

A display of aesthetic and functional balance, Tizio remains a modern design marvel.

Introduced in 1972, the lamp is built with two counterweights allowing the user to direct the light at will.

The lamp adjusts with a pull or push of the hand and stays in place as set. Eliminating the need for extraneous wires and enhancing a clean aesthetic, Tizio’s arms conduct electricity to the bulb which was an early introduction of halogen to an industry outside of automotive.

A small reflector works with the light source to provide highly concentrated light.

A multiple aware winner, Tizio is included in MoMA's permanent collection, amongst others. LED version available as well as 3 sizes from mini to classic.

-Fully adjustable, balanced electrical conductor arms in aluminum.
-Arm spacer bars in chromed steel with red molded thermoplastic insulators.
-Counter weights in die-cast zinc alloy with translucent polycarbonate shield.
-Adjustable head in die-cast aluminum with inner high efficiency reflector in anodized aluminum.
