This design classic from the firm Artemide is the result of a revolution of ideas. A revolution in the name of Tizio 50, not completely wiping out the past, but overturning all habits in terms of construction and form.Moreover, the Artemide Tizio 50 is, in the literal sense of the word, a balancing act: the the lamp's extended arm is counterbalanced on an axis making it possible to keep it in position. The balance of the lamp gives off an impression of stability while restraint; the geometric rigor of the composition expresses lightness and dynamism. It is a simple idea that is at the origin of the creation of the Artemide Tizio: Richard Sapper, who developed this desk lamp in 1970, favored, for work or reading, direct light on his area. work, leaving the rest of the room in semi-darkness, making it easier for him to concentrate on his task.
