Tizio Classic Desk Lamp by Artemide Review

I purchased my first Tizio Artemide over 20 years ago, and that one is still running in my household. At the time, it was one of the first Halogen low-voltages lamps, and the bulb itself was taken directly from a car headlamp. I loved the lamp, as it's design is a rare mix of sheer design beauty and functionality. The light given off by the lamp can be glaring, which is why the transformer has two settings (low/high). It took me a while (about 5 years), but I found out that these lamps are equally great at giving light not only as a 'Task Lamp' (i.e. shining down on your desk), but also as an indirect light source (by turning the head so that it illuminates towards the ceiling).

Earlier models of this lamp had neither the small handle, nor the glass plate that prevents a white-hot bulb from accidentally falling out, and some fires have reportedly started that way. Also, earlier models suffered from spark erosion, making the internal wires in the head brittle over time. Also, the white version of this lamp used to be the black model, painted white - with a rather sub-par paint job. I've never purchased the white version, and haven't seen them available lately.

Over time, I have purchased four of these lamps, and the design improvements are subtle, but notable. The aforementioned glass plate and handle are great additions, and a better internal wiring promises to delay the on-set of wire fatigue.

Twenty years of constant use (with the occasional lamp change, about once every two to three years) have not disappointed. I still think that this is one of the best-looking, best designed lamps, and just today I purchased the fifth (in medium size). I can wholeheartedly recommend this lamp to anyone who is looking for a timeless lamp with great functional design.
