Tizio

There are no wires between the base and the lamp: the two parallel arms, connected with snap fasteners, conduct safe 12-volt electricity.

[5] The Tizio is available in a variety of sizes and colours; the original, and most widely known, is the 50 (referring to the wattage of the bulb) in black.

Other colours are white, and grey metallic; and, the occasional limited edition in polished aluminium, or titanium-colour.

There also is a floorstanding version, the Terra, which consist of a 70-centimeter-high pedestal with the same 11 cm diameter as the lamp's base, with the 50 added on top.

Design changes were made to the head in the nineties – a glass cover, and a thin wire terminating in a small red bead were added.
