Price is per lamp. One has sold. One is available.

A display of aesthetic and functional balance, Tizio remains a modern design marvel. Introduced in 1972, the lamp is built with two counterweights allowing the user to direct the light at will. The lamp adjusts with a pull or push of the hand and stays in place as set. Eliminating the need for extraneous wires and enhancing a clean aesthetic, Tizio’s arms conduct electricity to the bulb which was an early introduction of halogen to an industry outside of automotive. A small reflector works with the light source to provide highly concentrated light.

Fully adjustable, balanced electrical conductor arm with adjustable head and 360º rotatable base. Marked "Artemide , Made in Italy, Modello Tizio, Design R. Sapper" to underside of light.
