2016

In 2016, and Gildas Le Bars envisioned a studio where the functionality of lighting would meet artistic sensibility. For, it was the year it all began in a small office in Montreal. A period of pure exploration fueled by a singular vision: to create light that speaks to the soul. It was during this time that we launched our first collection, RA, a series that defined our aesthetic and set the stage for everything that followed.

Today, 2026 is the new 2016 for us also. It represents a fresh approach to our core principles, a renewed passion for creating timeless pieces, and an exciting chapter of innovation. We carry that same raw energy from our first office and channel it into this new era, pushing the boundaries of what lighting can be.

Née d'une collaboration créative entre le designer et le, la collection doppler s'inspire de la fluidité de l'eau pour offrir des pièces aux reflets captivants et à l’éclat magnétique. Présentée à la galerie à Montréal, la Doppler Triple Gold est bien plus qu’un luminaire; c’est une exploration de la perception.

La particularité de cette version de la Doppler Triple est sa finition d'exception Or 12K, réalisées avec précision ici même au Québec, confèrent à l'œuvre un fini luxueux. Cet ancrage local souligne l'engagement envers un design authentique et une fabrication de haute main de la part de studio darmes

Our global presence reached a new milestone with the arrival of our collections at in Italy, a key partnership for our European growth. And our participation in the exhibitions at and served as a meaningful tribute to the strength and importance of our local creative community.

Hyphen is more than just a light fixture; it’s a luminous sculpture, a dialogue between material and light, an exploration of union and balance.

Two suspended cylindrical bodies intertwine in a fluid, silent motion. With its curving shape, the versatile Hyphen can be used as a pendant light. Connected by a central pivot, the modules offer a variety of positions and orientations, projecting a soft, directional light that evolves with the space.

The name Hyphen is derived from the ancient Greek huph’ hén (ὑφ’ ἕν), which means the union of two opposites into one. The materials and finishes have been carefully selected to interact with light and reveal subtle chromatic variations, even when the object is switched off.

The collection benefits from the expertise of ceramic artist. Each porcelain piece is shaped by hand in Morin-Heights, Quebec. This meticulous process, completed in several stages over multiple days, gives each piece a unique texture that captures the essence of touch and time.

The Hyphen collection was first presented at and won the in 2022.

Initially inspired by neon, often associated with intense white light or illuminated signs at night, has reinvented this iconic object, infusing it with a refined, timeless aesthetic.

Its LED tubes, encapsulated in hand-curved glass, diffuse a soft, mesmerizing glow, featuring adjustable colour temperature and intensity.

Rare modernist dining room set designed by architect Luc Durand for Quebec manufacturer Blier Inc in 1966. Based on uncluttered vertical and horizontal lines, VE-HO represented a new style of home furniture.

Durand was a famous Quebec architect, responsible for designing the Pavillon du Quebec from Expo 67 and the Montreal Olympic Village from the 1976 Olympics.

All the elements of this furniture system are assembled without nails or screws. Birdseye maple dining table with two captain chairs and four side chairs. Cotton and acrylan upholstery. The patina has been restored to its original condition.

At Darmes, we ensure the brilliance, durability, and professional aesthetic of all our pieces. This is why all our finishes are carried out by our professional and expert local artisans in Québec.

Electrostatic painting is our method for ensuring a colored finish with exceptional durability and perfect uniformity. Before the paint is applied, each part undergoes an essential preparatory treatment, sandblasting. This step thoroughly cleans the metal surface and creates micro-roughness.

Next, the paint powder is positively charged and is attracted to the negatively charged part to be painted. Once the application is complete, the part goes through the oven for baking. This process allows us to offer a wide variety of finishes, including matte, glossy, chromatic, and sandy textures. These finishes are offered for the Hyphen, Hartau, 1979 and Ra.

The Ra Wall, one of our most iconic creations, is a fascinating blend of strength and delicacy. Imagined by, it has been a centerpiece since 2017. Its disc, like an eclipse, captures light while creating a soft and enveloping ambiance.

This award-winning piece (, 2017) is a source of great pride for us.

Since its launch, we have continuously improved our manufacturing and sourcing process with the switch to LED tubes, prioritizing quality materials and working closely with local suppliers. Each light is hand-assembled in our workshop in Canada.
