Artemide Canada – Iconic Italian Designer Lighting
Artemide is one of the defining names in modern Italian lighting. Founded in 1960, the company has spent over six decades producing design classics in collaboration with the world’s leading designers and architects — most famously the Tolomeo task lamp, one of the most recognizable lighting designs ever made. An Artemide fixture pairs serious engineering with genuine design significance, which is why the brand is a fixture in both design-led homes and museum collections.
The Artemide catalog spans table and task lamps, floor lamps, sculptural suspensions, and minimal wall and ceiling fixtures. Explore related categories in our table lamps, pendant lighting, and wall sconces collections.
Montreal Lighting & Hardware carries genuine Artemide fixtures online and at our showroom in Mount-Royal, Quebec. All products are priced in Canadian dollars with free shipping on orders over $199 CAD.
Artemide Table & Task Lamps, Floor Lamps, Suspensions & Wall Lights
Table & Task Lamps
Artemide’s table and task lamps include the legendary Tolomeo — the fully articulated, counterbalanced task lamp designed by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina — alongside other design icons. These lamps deliver precise, adjustable light for desks, workspaces, and bedsides while standing as design objects in their own right.
Floor Lamps
Artemide floor lamps are both functional and sculptural, anchoring living rooms, reading corners, and offices with adjustable, high-quality light. Many carry the same articulated, engineered design language as the brand’s task lamps, scaled up for the floor.
Suspensions & Pendants
Artemide suspensions range from minimal architectural forms to expressive sculptural pieces, designed to serve as the focal point over a dining table, island, or stairwell. The brand’s suspensions are frequently specified by designers for both residential and contract projects.
Wall & Ceiling Lights
Artemide wall and ceiling fixtures bring the brand’s clean, considered design to ambient and accent lighting, with low-profile flush mounts and wall lights that suit modern and transitional interiors alike. Select Artemide fixtures are designed for outdoor use.
Artemide FAQs
What is Artemide known for?
Artemide is an Italian lighting company founded in 1960, known for collaborating with leading designers and architects to produce iconic, design-led fixtures. The Tolomeo task lamp is its most recognizable design and a modern classic. Buying Artemide means buying a genuine design object backed by decades of engineering.
What is the Artemide Tolomeo?
The Tolomeo is Artemide’s signature task lamp — a fully articulated, counterbalanced design by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, first introduced in 1987. Its spring-balanced arm system lets you position light precisely and effortlessly. It’s available in a wide family of versions — desk, floor, wall, and clamp mounts, in several sizes and finishes.
Are Artemide fixtures dimmable?
Many Artemide fixtures are dimmable, though the method varies — some use integrated dimming or app and touch controls, others dim with a compatible wall dimmer and dimmable bulb. Because Artemide’s fixtures vary widely in their electronics, check the specific product’s spec sheet for its dimming method and any recommended dimmer.
Do Artemide fixtures use integrated LED or replaceable bulbs?
It depends on the fixture. Many contemporary Artemide designs use integrated LED modules for efficiency and a slim profile, while some designs take standard replaceable bulbs. The product spec sheet indicates whether a given fixture has an integrated LED or takes a specific bulb type — worth checking before purchase.
Are any Artemide fixtures suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — Artemide makes a dedicated range of outdoor fixtures rated for exterior conditions, including wall, bollard, and in-ground lights. Indoor Artemide fixtures are not suitable for outdoor use. Confirm the location rating on the product spec sheet before installing any fixture outdoors.

Ce qui distingue réellement Artemide, c'est son mélange unique de technologie de nouvelle génération, de recherche scientifique et de savoir-faire italien ancien. La marque est un pionnier de la « lumière responsable », utilisant des matériaux haute performance et des solutions optiques brevetées pour maximiser l'efficacité énergétique tout en minimisant l'impact environnemental. En collaborant avec des architectes et designers de renommée mondiale—y compris Bjarke Ingels Group, Zaha Hadid et Herzog & de Meuron—Artemide veille à ce que chaque produit soit une union de précision technique et d'expression poétique. Cette dévotion à l'ingénierie "orientée design" se traduit par une collection de chefs-d'œuvre intemporels qui font plus qu'éclairer une pièce ; ils améliorent la qualité de vie humaine et l'intégrité architecturale de l'environnement moderne.
