Artemest

Artemest brings Italian artisan design to an international catalog for shoppers looking for pieces with a maker’s point of view, distinctive materials, and a story behind their production. Its platform brings together furniture, lighting, decor, tabletop, art, and lifestyle objects made by workshops and designers across Italy.

The company was founded in 2015 by Marco Credendino and Ippolita Rostagno. Since then, it has organized an offering that, according to its own presentation, includes more than 1,000 Italian artisans and about 50,000 handmade pieces. That scale makes it possible to browse for a lamp or decorative object as well as furnishings for a complete room, with filters for category, material, style, and maker.

The catalog spans chairs, tables, sofas, cabinets, and outdoor pieces; ceiling, table, and wall lighting; rugs, mirrors, textiles, and decorative objects; as well as dinnerware, glassware, flatware, and art. Artemest emphasizes techniques and materials associated with different parts of Italy: Murano glass, Caltagirone ceramics, Brianza furniture, and Tuscan marble are examples of an artisan tradition that continues in contemporary workshops.

The selection is presented as more than a product list. Editorial pages tell stories about artisans, homes, and design projects, while curated collections introduce styles and materials to shoppers planning a room or looking for a focal piece. That curation helps visitors discover lesser-known makers and understand what sets an artisan piece apart from mass-produced goods.

For design professionals, Artemest offers a trade program and an interior design advisory service. The company also presents Artemest Contract, which focuses on interior and hospitality projects. These services create a way to discuss individual pieces and coordinate proposals for full spaces, in addition to shopping for single items online.

The in-person experience centers on Artemest Galleria in New York’s West Chelsea neighborhood, where Italian craftsmanship, design, and art are on display. The gallery is at 518 West 19th Street and lists hours Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The company listing also records Via Savona 97 in Milan as its Italian business address; that address should not be confused with the New York gallery.

Artemest may appeal to someone furnishing a home, looking for a design gift, or working on an interiors project and wanting to compare Italian-made pieces in one digital destination. The range runs from accessible tabletop and decor objects to high-value furniture and art, with pricing, dimensions, materials, and lead times listed for each product.

Its model combines ecommerce, editorial storytelling, and services for professionals. The platform does more than sell objects: it introduces the workshops behind them and the techniques that shape each piece. For shoppers, that makes it easier to move from visual inspiration to a focused search by category, artisan, or material; for design professionals, it provides a channel for discussing larger projects.
