Artemide Tizio 50 table lamp
The big table lamp Tizio 50 designed in the seventies with counterbalanced arms and head from lacquered metal is a classic of design.
The table lamp Tizio 50 by Artemide is assuredly the most famous design made by this designer from Munich, Germany. The elegant and pure appearance of this slender lamp is not all you get. This table lamp made history because it was the very first using a low-voltage-halogen technique. The innovation is contained in the exquisite basic concept: a transformator installed in the base of the lamp which transform the tension from 230V into 12V feeds a halogen lamp through little sticks and red buttons located on the three joints. This lamp has not only a structural function, it also serves as current conductor so that cables are not needed. The arms that are equipped with counterweights stay balanced in nearly every position and can be besides easily adjusted. Moreover, the little square head of the lamp can be tilted in order to direct any time a dazzle-free, direct and focused light where it is needed. The lamp can be operated with the help of the red two-stage-switch on the heavy transformator case. This classic of design from lacquered polycarbonate and metal is available in various sizes and colours. With the aid of an aluminuim column delivered on request, you can make your table lamp into a floor and reading lamp. Today Tizio is exhibited in numerous museum in the whole world and was rewarded with many prizes.
