For sale is an absolute design icon in a highly sought-after finish: the Artemide Tizio in mirror-polished chrome as a numbered and engraved special edition (engraving no. 06467, including the embossed Sapper signature on the main arm).
This model is not only a masterful lighting tool but also a globally prized collector's item, represented, among other places, in the permanent architecture and design collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
