Artemide Lighting in Contemporary Interiors

A well furnished interior can still feel cold or unfinished if the lighting was an afterthought. One fitting in the middle of the ceiling lights everything equally and flattens the room, which is the most common mistake in an otherwise careful project.

Contemporary interiors work in layers instead: a general source, a directional light where something is being done, an accent on a wall or a picture, and a low source for the evening. The room then adapts to what is happening in it, from working to reading to having people over.

Artemide holds a particular place here because the range covers all of those layers with fittings from one design language. A floor lamp, a wall light and a recessed fitting from the same family will share a finish and a light quality, so the layers do not fight each other.

The brand has also been consistent about technology, moving to LED without abandoning the shapes that made the older models recognisable, which matters if part of the room is already fitted.
