Artemide Tizio Desk Lamp

The Artemide Tizio Desk Lamp is a desk lamp by Artemide, designed by Richard Sapper. It is conceived for precise task lighting in workspaces and offices, offering highly adjustable directional illumination through an articulated arm system.

The lamp is defined by a cantilevered structure with two main articulated arm sections, a small rectangular head and a compact cylindrical base. The range is available in several dimensions and finishes to suit different desk scales and interior schemes.

Construction uses thin metal rods, geometric counterweights and a tiltable aluminium head; the articulated arms themselves serve as electrical conductors and the compact base houses the internal electronics. The unit is commonly finished in a uniform matte black.

Light is delivered as a focused, directional beam controlled by the counterbalanced arms and tiltable head, making the Tizio particularly suited to task-focused areas where precise illumination is required.

The lamp is rated to IP20 and is supplied with a black power cord exiting the base for mains connection. The product carries a five-year manufacturer warranty; check the specific product listing for details on lamp source, driver and dimming options as these vary by model.
