Darmes signature develops at the intersection of a lamp’s expected functional materiality and a work of art’s reflexive effect.
In 2016, Alexandre Joncas and Gildas Le Bars found Darmes. Headquarters are established in the Quebec Laurentian Mountains, where Joncas pushes his practice, grounding the studio’s vision in his exploration of form, simplicity, and a collaborative approach to design. Alongside a team of selected creators and artisans, they foster a culture of reciprocity and innovative synergy. Partners in crime in both life and design, Joncas and Le Bars handle their craft with bold honesty and curiosity. Their human touch on industrial techniques generates timeless pieces—a testimony of their deep respect for materials and passion for enduring concepts.
Darmes creative capacities and steadfast attention to detail and dialogue led to close relationships with clientele, both at local and international scales, making the studio a significant player in product design.
