"The value of “making” is important.
It is a message that must be conveyed to young designers and
young architects entering the world of design and light.
They must be told that it is not enough to attend the right school,
to have interesting ideas, because design cannot be taught
or understood without “making”."
Ernesto Gismondi
"Making", design culture, Made in Italy and innovation: this
is where Artemide's products come from.
Carrying on the heritage of Ernesto Gismondi, Artemide
merges creativity and measure, knowledge and know-
how collaborating with the main Italian and international
architects and designers. Artemide has always been
listening to the world.
Artemide designs and produces light through a synthesis
of humanistic vision, scientific research and manufacturing
that are all measured with environmental and social
sustainability.
Today, more than ever, light is a circular energy. Light makes
the world visible and supports spaces perception.
It interacts with life, with psychological and physiological
well-being and with health. It dialogues with the
environment through intelligences, it can transmit data
and information.
Artemide creates icons of design distributing value by
restoring not only function but also emotion and beauty.
Artemide signs the perspective of light design to anticipate
the future in the present.
