Tizio desk lamp by richard sapper

Super desk lamp tizio model by richard sapper by artemide. It is in a beautiful condition and this model was equipped with a dimmer of light intensity. The tizio lamp is an object from the industrial design created by the designer richard sapper. The first edition of this lamp dates from 1972. It has since been ordered and marketed by artemide. The operation of the lamp was revolutionary at the time of its creation: the foot of the lamp serves as a base and transformer to increase the voltage from 220 to 12 volts. The current is then distributed on the uprights, then on the two articulated arms equipped with counterweights, to finally come to power the halogen lamp. This lamp, now considered a design classic, is in the collections of many modern art museums around the world. She was selected in 1979 for the compasso d'oro prize.
