Artemide North America

What Artemide North America does

Artemide North America is the US- and Canada-facing subsidiary of Italian premium lighting manufacturer Artemide S.p.A. (founded in the 1950s by Ernesto Gismondi), headquartered in Hicksville, NY with 101–250 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes architectural, design, and outdoor LED lighting products organized into three collections — Design, Architectural, and Outdoor — targeting design-conscious consumers, professional architects, lighting designers, and commercial specifiers across offices, hospitality, public space, and residential segments.

The product portfolio centers on LED technology with proprietary differentiators, including the patented RWB (Red-White-Blue) light system developed in 2011 for indoor plant growth (featured in the Gople Lamp), acoustic-light products such as Silent Field and Eggboard that combine illumination with sound absorption, the modular Alphabet of Light linear system by Bjarke Ingels Group, and portable rechargeable fixtures like Come Together. Iconic IP from the Tolomeo family (designed 1986 by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, Compasso d'Oro 1989) anchors the brand, supported by ongoing collaborations with BIG, Foster & Partners, Gensler, Carlotta de Bevilacqua, and Elemental.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales across four channels: two company-owned flagship showrooms (SoHo, NYC and Chicago), an owned direct-to-consumer e-commerce site (artemidestore.com), a US/Canada sales-representative network serving professional specifiers, and authorized online retail partners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; professional/trade buyers receive an automatic 5-year warranty, while consumers receive a 1-year warranty extendable to 5 years via online registration. The company pursues a multi-channel marketing approach anchored on design industry events (NYCxDESIGN, Euroluce, LEDucation, Lightfair) and design-community engagement at its showrooms, with distribution restricted to North America under the global Artemide brand.
