Artemest is an Italian e-commerce marketplace for high-end Italian craftsmanship, founded in Milan in 2015 by jewelry designer Ippolita Rostagno and Marco Credendino. The platform connects Italian artisans, ateliers, and design manufacturers with an international clientele, selling handmade furniture, lighting, home decor, tableware, art, and jewelry.
Artemest works with well over a thousand Italian makers, from family workshops practicing traditions such as Murano glassblowing, marble carving, and ceramic craft to established design brands. Each maker is vetted for quality and provenance, and many pieces are made to order or customizable, with the platform managing white-glove international logistics. The catalog spans one-of-a-kind collectible design and gallery pieces through to production furniture and decorative accessories.
A significant share of Artemest's business comes from the interior design trade: its Artemest Trade program serves designers, architects, and hospitality projects sourcing Italian furnishings for residential and commercial interiors, and the company has opened showroom spaces including a New York gallery. Headquartered in Milan with a US presence, Artemest positions itself as a curated gateway to Italian decorative arts, and publishes editorial features on its artisans as part of its mission to sustain Italian craft traditions.
