Richard Sapper – “Tizio Terra 50” Floor Lamp for Artemide – 1979 – Compasso d’Oro Winner Rare and iconic “Tizio Terra 50” floor lamp, designed by Richard Sapper and produced by Artemide in 1979, the same year it was awarded the prestigious Compasso d’Oro prize. Made of silver painted metal with the signature red detailing, this model features a tall cylindrical base and articulated arms with double parallel rods, allowing for a wide range of adjustable positions. The arms’ stability is ensured by black metal counterweights. The adjustable diffuser houses a halogen bulb, powered by low-voltage direct current (12V) running directly through the metal arms—no visible wires. The base includes plastic tabs that secure the structure to the cylindrical stand. Dimensions (average position): approx. 75 x 20 x 170 cm (h). Measurements may vary depending on the chosen position. Condition: good, with minor signs of age consistent with the piece’s vintage nature. The base is not fixed to the lamp but it doesn’t create a problem, because the lamp was fixed to a column without fix. The lamp can rotate free on the base. Please note it on the photos. An iconic and rare piece of 20th-century Italian design—ideal for modern interiors and discerning collectors.
