Artemide: iluminación de diseño italiano de referencia mundial desde 1960 | Insmat Caldes

Artemide is one of the world's foremost references in lighting design, founded in Milan in 1960 by Ernesto Gismondi. Headquartered in Pregnana Milanese and present in over 100 countries through more than 50 monobrand showrooms, Artemide has built over six decades a unique legacy where cutting-edge technology, scientific research and a deeply human vision of light converge. Its guiding philosophy, "The Human Light", is rooted in the conviction that light is not merely functional but an element capable of improving quality of life, influencing mood and transforming the experience of the spaces we inhabit. Its pieces are held in the permanent collections of the world's most important design museums: the MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnica in Milan.

Artemide's catalogue is a succession of industrial design icons, born from collaborations with the most influential architects and designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Tolomeo, designed by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina and winner of the Compasso d'Oro in 1989, is considered the world's best-selling contemporary desk lamp. Tizio by Richard Sapper (1972) revolutionised table lighting with its counterweight structure and no visible cables. Eclisse by Vico Magistretti (1967), also a Compasso d'Oro winner, is an adjustable sphere that embodies the geometry of 1960s Italian design. The Nesso by Giancarlo Mattioli is another icon of that era still in production today. More recent collections such as Pirce, Castore and Demetra carry on the brand's tradition of uniting technical research, formal elegance and visual comfort in pieces that transcend trends.
