Elevate Spaces with the Castore Collection by Artemide

Designed by Michele De Lucchi and Huub Ubbens for Artemide, the Castore Collection blends pure geometric form with soft, diffused illumination. Recognized for its seamless transition between light and structure, each fixture features a hand-blown opal glass sphere attached to a luminous, tapered polycarbonate stem. This signature stem softly diffuses light upward, smoothing the contrast between the glowing diffuser and the supporting fixture. The Castore lineup encompasses pendant suspension lights, table lamps, and floor lamps, providing versatile lighting solutions for modern residential, commercial, and hospitality interiors.
