Darmes

The Darmes Story

Founded in 2016, by Alexandre Joncas and Gildas Le Bars, whose dynamic approach unites the pragmatism of industrial techniques with the expressiveness of modern art. Nested in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Darmes has built its reputation on refining each step of the design process—placing deep respect for materials and close collaboration at the forefront. Joncas draws upon influences such as New Wave aesthetics and 1980s sci-fi cinema to inform his vision of lighting as an emotional and experiential force.

Le Bars champions a forward-thinking, socially responsible ethic, steering the studio toward sustainable practices and partnerships with local artisans. This fusion of avant-garde style and ethical craftsmanship has given rise to a line of timeless luminaires that are equally at home in residential spaces and large-scale architectural projects. With a commitment to refined simplicity and interactive artistry, Darmes continues to redefine functional lighting by inviting users into a realm where each piece resonates as both a design object and a work of art.
