Tizio Classic Task Lamp

Comments about Tizio Classic Task Lamp

This is the third black Tizio lamp I have bought over roughly forty years (they do wear out eventually), and this newest version is just not the same as its forbears. Call it je ne sais quoi, but something is missing. Besides the obvious, like the lack of a rotating dimmer switch - unless you buy the LED version with a disposable shade/light source in this age of conservation - the lamp has lost an element of grace. By comparison, it feels clunky, and the original matte finish, if it were wine, has glossy undertones. Is Artemide losing its way with the Tizio lamp - perhaps taking its success for granted and churning it out more like hardware than art now that it has achieved icon status? Pity.

We have had these lamps since 1982 and think them wonderful. I use them as bedside reading lamps. Best design ever..

Beautiful, classic lines, moving sculpture, and, it's a desk lamp!

This lamp is exactly what I was looking for, sleek sturdy and a substantial size. It looks incredibly sharp in my office. Worth the money!

I bought this Tizio to replace one that I had had for 30 years. Great design and function.
