The Artemide Tizio Floor Lamp is a floor lamp designed by Richard Sapper in 1972. In Artemide's words: “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.” Choose size and the light source on this page.

About the designer

Richard Sapper (1932–2015) was a German designer who spent most of his career in Milan. He created the Tizio for Artemide in 1972, and his other landmark designs include the IBM ThinkPad and the 9091 whistling kettle for Alessi. His gift was turning hard engineering problems into simple, approachable objects.
