ALA is pleased to announce the Representation of Extant Architectural Lighting. With decades of industry insight, founders Steve Koch, Erik Smith, and Bill Lynch are driven to define what’s next in architectural lighting. Together, we design and craft architectural lighting on the west coast. And we do it with style. Unbound by convention, Extant dares differently, from our stylish product line to an unparalleled focus on customer care.

Extant is truly driven to define what’s next in architectural lighting. Their innovative Microstructure EdgeTech Optics (MEO) delivers unparalleled optic control and exceptional performance with seamless illumination and uniformity. Pixelation, hot spots, and lens breaks are a thing of the past. MEO allows us to craft high performing, low-profile fixtures with optic options like batwing, glare control and diffused light distributions.

Extant Architectural Lighting also provides simplified methods for accessibility and maintenance unthought of before. Contact us to see a sample to fully experience how this fixture performs.

HISTORY

Born in Milan and brought to life alongside the Memphis Design Movement, Artemide continues to workshop with both design and technical schools worldwide to create forward-thinking, truly useful, aesthetically enhancing and environmentally aware lighting. Early collaborations with Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti and Bruno Munari laid the ground for today’s work with Scott Wilson, Bjarke Ingels Group and Mercedes-Benz.

The history of contemporary lighting is punctuated with Artemide creations beginning with 1960’s Alfa, 1967’s Eclisse designed by Vico Magistretti to today’s collaborations with Philippe Rahm, Ross Lovegrove, and Tapio Rosenius.

An early proponent of LED technology, Artemide is committed to eco-sustainability through design and production seeking to minimize energy consumption and waste through a product’s life cycle.

Existing at the nexus of Italian industrial design and craftsmanship, Artemide is proud to manufacture lighting in Italy, France, Hungary, and the United States.
