About Us
Lambert & Fils is a design studio exploring the many shapes of light.
We are based in Montreal, Canada.
Through its exploration of new design technologies, Lambert & Fils investigates the many shapes of light—meditating on voids, volumes, and the importance of matière première—materials as a point of origin. The studio has created installations around the world, taking over display windows for Paris Design Week, hosting multiple editions of a pop-up café for Milan’s Fuorisalone, and devising a grand floral installation for Stockholm Design Week.
Like the studio itself, these explorations trace the places where the unexpected meets the universally poetic—and where humility meets complex design.
The poetry of materials.
Encounters of technology and design.
Founded in 2010, Lambert & Fils is a contemporary lighting studio that creates original collections and collaborates with emerging designers around the world.
Preserving the bond between design and making, all lighting is handmade in the Lambert & Fils atelier in the heart of Montreal.
Hand-crafting the future of light.
Working by hand empowers our studio to push boundaries. We dream in materials, we prototype in-house, and we create the technologies and manufacturing approaches to bring our imagined forms to life. Our Montreal atelier is in a constant state of experimentation—explorations that have powered experiential lighting environments and award-winning collections. We also believe in the power and intimacy of warm incandescent lighting and so developed our own sustainable LED technology to recreate this ambient glow.

Nearly a decade later, Lambert & Fils has become one of the world’s most energized hubs for collaborative design. Samuel Lambert continues to lead the studio as Artistic Director. His humility, fascination with materials and commitment to the handmade remains at the heart of Lambert & Fils.
Samuel Lambert founded Lambert & Fils in 2010, when he opened up a small design shop on Rue Beaubien in Montreal.
Growing up in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Lambert spent his childhood observing his father, a ceramic artist, at his home studio. The legacy came full-circle shortly after the birth of his youngest son, as Lambert began gathering his original designs under a new concept—Lambert & Fils (Lambert & Sons).
Material explorations in bold new forms.
Whether large-scale custom installations or a single piece from one of
our collections, Lambert & Fils lighting lives in homes, work spaces, restaurants, hotels, galleries, and many other spaces around the world.
