Konstsmide
Konstsmide is a Swedish lighting brand with over 80 years of tradition, innovation, and craftsmanship.

This forward-thinking spirit continues to shape the brand, ensuring products that are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and built for the future.
Quality is another cornerstone of Konstsmide lighting. With production facilities in Sweden and Hungary, alongside strong partnerships in China, the company maintains full control of its processes. Every product undergoes rigorous third-party testing to ensure safety, reliability, and long service life. Customers can trust Konstsmide to deliver lighting that is not only stylish but also dependable.
The company remains headquartered in Gnosjö, where it employs around 200 people across the Gunnar Johansson Group. Its operations extend globally, with subsidiaries in Germany, England, Finland, Hungary, Poland, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Norway. Despite its international presence, Konstsmide has stayed true to its local roots and family values, ensuring consistency in service and design philosophy.
Today, Konstsmide lighting continues to be the first choice for customers seeking outdoor luminaires and festive decorations. From durable wall lights and garden fixtures to Advent stars and innovative LED decorations, the collection represents a blend of tradition and modernity. By combining Scandinavian craftsmanship with forward-thinking design, Konstsmide has become a brand trusted by generations across Europe and beyond.
