Artemide celebrates Tizio’s 50th anniversary with a special version in Richard Sapper’s favorite red. Tizio is not only a masterpiece of Artemide collection but also an icon of Italian design. Designed 50 years ago, it is still absolutely contemporary also thanks to a new integrated LED source. An elegant synthesis of intelligent components elaborated by Richard Sapper has created a timeless product. “When we presented it, there was nothing like it on the market, it was revolutionary. Tizio is beautiful in any different position, it is a harmonious object in all its parts, you move it with one hand and it is always extremely precise. It is not that we don’t change anything over the years because we can’t, we don’t change anything because that’s the way it is.” Ernesto Gismondi, 2014
