Item description

Tizio 50 lamp with floor base. The stand, original Artemide, with its steel base and extruded painted aluminium body greatly enhances the beauty of the lamp and allows Tizio to be converted into a practical reading lamp. It is therefore also a flexible table lamp that can be adjusted at the touch of a finger and provides a wide range of action. With electrically conductive rods, no cables are required in the balancing system. The spring buttons used to connect the arms ensure constant flexibility for all the movements and rotations the lamp can perform. It is exhibited in the world's most important museums including: Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum. Sapper won the Compasso d'Oro in 1979 with this design. A design lamp with a wide range of movement and little bulk. The lamp is made of metal finished with a very light glass-fibre reinforced nylon coating and consists of two pairs of parallel arms that allow a wide range of positions. The stability of these positions is determined by steel counterweights fixed to the ends of the pairs of arms. As far as the lighting is concerned, Tizio is equipped with a 12-volt halogen bulb, powered by a direct current passing through the metal arms. This voltage creates no danger of electrocution in the event of contact with the arms. Dimensions: L. 68 cm - H.66 cm - Base diameter 11 cm - Maximum extension in height 190 cm - Maximum extension in width 108 cm.
