Nothing is timeless.

I see a lot of "timeless" pieces donated on our town's "Buy Nothing" facebook page, after failing to sell at estate sales.

Old Artemide lights weren't designed around modern LED technology and are now obsolete. I doubt that your children will even want them.

One of the lights I inherited is a Tizio with halogen light. It still works. I can save 10 euro per year by throwing away the lamp and buying the LED version. Seems wasteful though, so I just keep it working. I don't see it as obsolete.

The other one has an E27 fitting and fits a regular IKEA or Philips LED bulb, even the smart ones or the ones with temperature adjustments.

Love Artemide.
