Artemide Melete LED Wall Sconce by Pio & Tito Toso

Artemide Melete LED Wall Sconce by Pio & Tito Toso transforms indirect lighting into an architectural feature. Its clean white form projects light primarily upward across the wall while allowing a softer portion of illumination to shape the curved lower surface, creating both ambient light and visual depth.

Designed for Artemide by Pio & Tito Toso, Melete combines a minimalist profile with powerful integrated LED performance. The North American LED version delivers 1765 lumens from 28W while providing high-quality color rendering with CRI above 93. Choose between 2700K for a warmer atmosphere or 3000K for a slightly cleaner warm-white appearance.

Melete is especially effective in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, entryways and dining areas where comfortable indirect illumination is preferred over exposed glare. Its understated white finish also makes it a strong architectural wall-lighting option for hotels, restaurants, offices, lounges and other contemporary commercial interiors.

Why Choose the Artemide Melete Wall Sconce?

• Architectural indirect light: Melete directs illumination upward onto the wall while softly illuminating its sculptural lower form.
• High light output: The integrated 28W LED delivers 1765 lumens for substantial ambient illumination.
• Excellent color rendering: CRI >93 helps furnishings, finishes and artwork appear natural and accurately rendered.
• 2700K or 3000K: Select between two warm-white color temperatures to complement the atmosphere and materials of your interior.
• Dimmable: 2-wire dimming provides convenient control over brightness and mood.
• Minimal white finish: The monochromatic surface allows Melete to integrate naturally with contemporary architecture while retaining its distinctive curved geometry.
• Residential and commercial versatility: Suitable for homes as well as hotels, restaurants, offices, lounges and hospitality environments.

Indirect Light with a Sculptural Effect

Unlike a conventional wall sconce that exposes or directly projects its light source into the room, Melete uses the wall itself as part of the lighting composition. Most of the illumination opens upward across the surface, producing a broad indirect glow, while a smaller amount of light defines the curved lower portion of the fixture.

The result is a wall light that contributes to the architecture even when viewed from across the room. This makes Melete particularly useful where comfortable ambient illumination and a clean visual environment are priorities.

2700K or 3000K: Which Melete Should You Choose?

2700K produces the warmer of the two options and works especially well in bedrooms, living rooms, restaurants, hotel rooms and other spaces intended to feel relaxed and inviting.

3000K maintains a warm appearance while offering a slightly crisper quality of light. It is a versatile choice for contemporary homes, hallways, entryways, offices, reception areas and hospitality interiors.

Both North American LED versions deliver 1765 lumens with CRI above 93, so the choice primarily comes down to the desired appearance and atmosphere of the space.

Product Details

Designed by Pio & Tito Toso

Melete was designed by Pio & Tito Toso for Artemide with an emphasis on the relationship between form, light and the surrounding wall. Rather than treating the fixture as a simple source of illumination, the design uses its curved geometry to control and shape indirect light across the architectural surface.

Where to Use the Artemide Melete

Use Melete where you want substantial ambient light without the visual glare of an exposed light source. In a living or dining room, it can provide an architectural layer of illumination alongside pendants, floor lamps and table lamps. In hallways and entryways, multiple fixtures can establish a repeating rhythm of indirect light along the wall.

For commercial projects, Melete is well suited to hotel corridors and guest rooms, restaurant dining areas, reception spaces, executive offices and lounges where high-quality light and a restrained architectural appearance are important.
