Artemide
Artemide is an iconic firm in the design world. The mid-century Italian company is one of the best known lighting manufacturers and its award-winning fixtures are held in museum collections everywhere. Vintage Artemide table lamps, pendants, ceiling lamps and other lighting represent a thoughtful merge between functionalism and eye-catching design.
Artemide, which is based in Pregnana, was founded by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza in 1959. During that year, Mazza created the first table lamp for the manufacturer — a modernist work in glass, marble and metal that he called the Alfa. Gismondi, who studied aeronautical engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan and missile engineering at Rome’s Professional School of Engineering, applied his knowledge of cutting edge technology and materials such as fiberglass resin to Artemide’s designs for lighting and furniture.
In 1967, Artemide won Italy’s Compasso d'Oro design award for its Eclisse table lamp, which was designed by Vico Magistretti two years earlier. Other award-winning fixtures include the Tizio table lamp designed by Richard Sapper and the Tolomeo table lamp.
Designed by Michele de Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, the Tolomeo featured the patented George Carwardine mechanism used in the original Anglepoise lamp. De Lucchi would later be recruited to join visionary postmodern design collective the Memphis Group. Artemide’s Gismondi purchased the brand after founder Ettore Sottsass dismantled the collective in 1988, and it was bought by Alberto Bianchi Albrici in 1996.
Artemide’s list of design, innovation, sustainability and other industry awards is long and distinguished. The firm continues to actively collaborate with internationally revered designers and seek out new talent through workshops with design schools. The company’s deeply held values — energy-saving lighting, sustainable design and ethically sourced materials — characterize its current offerings, and Artemide furniture and lighting can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and other institutions.

- Synthesis Table Lamp by Ernesto Gismondi for Artemide, 1970sBy Ernesto GismondiLocated in toronto, CAItalian designer and engineer Ernesto Gismondi is widely recognized for his significant contributions to the field of Italian lighting design through his involvement with Artemide, a renowned lighting company that he co-founded in 1960. Gismondi, born in 1931 in San Remo, pursued his academic studies in Aeronautical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan. He successfully completed his degree in 1957 and further expanded his knowledge by obtaining a second degree in Missile Engineering from the Professional School of Engineering in Rome in 1959. In collaboration with engineer and designer Sergio Mazza, who was born in Milan in 1931, Gismondi established Artemide with the vision of creating timeless and technologically innovative products. As the co-founders, they both played instrumental roles in shaping Artemide's evolving product lines over the following decades. They also led the company's mission to develop unique and architecturally-inspired lamps, pendants, and other fixtures by collaborating with prominent design talents from across the globe. Notable among Gismondi's designs for Artemide are the Sintesi Series (1976), encompassing table lamps, floor lamps, clamp lamps, and sconces, along with the Tholos Wall Lamp (1979), the Tebe Floor Lamp (1970s), and the Zen Floor Lamp...Category
