Tizio Floor Lamp by Richard Sapper for Artemide, Italy, 1972Rare Floor Lamp Version An icon of 20th-century industrial design, the Tizio lamp by Richard Sapper for Artemide is celebrated for its innovative engineering and timeless silhouette. Originally designed in 1972, the Tizio was one of the first lamps to use a low-voltage halogen bulb and counterbalanced arms without the need for visible wires—electricity flows through the lamp's articulated arms, making for a clean, almost futuristic profile. This is the rare floor lamp version of the Tizio, produced in Italy by Artemide. It features the same precision-balanced adjustability and sleek black finish as the desk model, scaled up for dramatic floor placement. A minimalist statement piece that’s equally at home in a modernist living room, studio, or office setting.
