Designed in 1972 by Richard Sapper, the Tizio 50 desk lamp has become a design icon, part of MoMA’s permanent collection. Tizio has two articulated arms and a swivel head, all balanced by a varnished aluminium counterweight. The lamp’s innovation lies in its design: a transformer is located in the base which switches the voltage from 230V to 12V and powers a halogen source through current-conducting rods and buttons. It is also available in a micro version and with LED-powered light.
