The Artemide Unterlinden Wall Light is a wall light designed by Herzog & De Meuron. In Artemide's words: “The Unterlinden family has been expanded with new versions based on its characteristic head. The lamp body in die-cast aluminum or brass features a different finish each time given by the natural oxidation process of the metal, which is halted and fixed by means of a clear finish.” Choose finish and the light source on this page.

Our Lighting Advisor's Verdict
Our Lighting Advisor's Verdict
★ Lighting Advisor's Verdict🏆 Award Winner🇮🇹 Made in ItalyDesigned by Herzog & De Meuron★ iF Product Design Award 2017✓ cULus listedDimmable5-year Artemide warranty
The Unterlinden Wall Light by Herzog & De Meuron is one we recommend for high color rendering (90+ CRI) that keeps colors and skin tones true and smooth dimming. It also won the iF Product Design Award (2017).
Choose it for bedside reading, hallways, living rooms and offices; anywhere floor and table space is tight.
Not ideal for bathrooms, showers, covered porches or outdoor spaces: it is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations.
Our pick: Aluminum, for integrated LED, so there are no bulbs to buy and 3000K light, warm but clear. That version ships from Artemide in 2–4 weeks.
