Born in 2016 following the union of Alexandre Joncas and Gildas Le Bars, d’Armes studio offers high-end vision without compromising on design. Their creations reflect the fascination of their designer for light and its effects on humans. “Light in a space is like a shoe that pulls together an outfit” has often said Alexandre Joncas, designer. d’Armes’s lighting design is the result of an artistic approach, technological mastery and societal implication. The studio works with the light as much as with the object itself. Clear and pure lines and natural stone or bronze accents create exceptional objects, with strong and timeless design. The quality and texture of the light demonstrate the care given to the choice of technologies and to the assembly process. All models are assembled by hand in the Montreal workshop. Motivated by a willingness to master its creations, from design to fabrication, the studio favours suppliers and artisans from greater Montreal. Proud of its origins and of its participation in the influence of the city on the world’s design scene, d’Armes is far from limiting itself to its hometown and thinks through its designs and its technique with the whole world in mind. Since its foundation, the studio has emphasized its international character and its modern entrepreneurial vision under the aegis of the operations director, Gildas Le Bars.
