An Italian design icon in a miniature format
Created by Richard Sapper for Artemide®, the Tizio Micro is the smallest version of the iconic Tizio lamp. With its reduced dimensions, it brings the same elegance and functionality to more compact settings without compromising on its legendary design.
Adjustable and directional lighting
The counterbalanced arm system and adjustable head offer full flexibility, allowing you to direct light exactly where needed. Ideal as a desk lamp or bedside reading light, it delivers sharp, focused lighting in a sleek, harmonious silhouette.
Two brightness levels for added comfort
With a simple switch, you can choose between two brightness settings. Compatible with a G4 Retrofit LED bulb (max. 2.4W), it operates at 220–240V and produces up to 150 lumens. With a CRI of 80, it delivers warm and efficient indoor lighting.
Timeless style by Richard Sapper
Crafted from black-finished aluminium, the Tizio Micro is both a functional lamp and a collectible object. Its minimalist profile and mechanical precision continue to captivate lovers of high-end design.
Compact dimensions for modern interiors
Measuring 49.5 cm in length and 43 cm in height, this lamp extends up to 76 cm high and 68 cm wide. Its small base (9 cm diameter) makes it perfect for desks, shelves or bedside tables.
