Master’s Piece lights: the essential Artemide lamps
It was in 1960 that Ernesto Gismondi created Artemide and launched the Alfa lamp, designed by Sergio Mazza a year earlier. Forty years later, having collected such prestigious design titles as the Compasso D’Oro for some of its pieces, the iconic Artemide lamps are today grouped together under the name “Modern Classic”, also called Master’s Piece. A symbol of Italian designer lighting, the table lamps Alfa, Eclisse, Tolomeo, Dalù, Lesbo, Fato…

The iconic Italian light
A symbol of Italian lighting, Artemide pushes the limits of design by offering iconic collections which have left their mark down the years and continue to inspire us both for private use and in the office.
Tolomeo, the articulated light that spans the ages
An Artemide bestseller since its release in 1987, and designed by Michele de Lucchi, Tolomeo makes Italian design shine across the world. Present in homes and workplaces all over the world and crowned with the prestigious Compasso d’Oro, the articulated collection is available as a desk lamp, floor lamp, wall light and in multiple different colours. Design Michele de Lucchi
The NH collection, a curvaceous jewel
Developed by the Chinese studio Neri&Hu, the Nh collection diffuses a soft, curvaceous poetry. Its luminous sphere, set off by a brass hook, reminds us of a pendant diffusing a soft light with low consumption. Design Neri&Hu
The whole NH collection
Yanzi collection,
gracef ul poetry
The delicacy of the Yanzi collection takes us to another place: that of the streets of Shangai, full of swallows perched on the windowsills. A combination of tradition and innovation, Yanzi is available as a pendant, table lamp and floor lamp. Design Neri&Hu
The whole Yanzi collection
Alphabet of Light, a new language
A new language of light… Alphabet of Light is made up of Linear and Circular, two versions for an infinite number of equations! Its slim, minimalist tubes create a modern, clean look which can form letters, words and shapes at will. The glare-free opto-electronic technology allows the light to be diffused evenly over the entire surface of the tube. A new language, poetic and creative. Design Bjarke Ingels Group
The Alphabet of Light collection
The outdoor collections
Since the human element is at the heart of the brand’s values, Artemide lamps adapt to their uses and the latest trends. An ability to go anywhere being part of it, the outdoor collections have developed, adapting to new demands and rejuvenating the brand. Ideal for use in damp rooms such as the bathroom and out in the garden!
Reeds
The threads of light of the Reeds designer lamp seem to emerge from the ground to spread a diffused, original light. Twenty-one stems spread a soft source of light outwards. Design Klauss Begasse
Reed Outdoor floor lamp
Dioscuri
Very pure, essential lines for this wall light in blown glass, both poetic and astral, which can be used as a ceiling light, or in a cluster to create a star wall! Design Michele de Lucchi
