about Hèmèra

HISTORY

Vincent Dion, a graduate in Industrial Design, founded the company in 1992 alongside his partner Monica Brunet. His objective was to design and manufacture a superior line of Canadian lighting products to rival European imports. These products had to be manufactured, engineered and finished to the highest standards. In 1991, the Cassiopée wall sconce was designed; an innovative creation intriguing by it's size and style. This flagship design proved to be extremely popular and was the first step on a path to great success. The following year the Hèmèra company, named for the Greek goddess of terrestrial light, was officially launched.

Having built an unparalleled reputation for exceptional designs and manufacturing standards, Hèmèra's collections are now distributed throughout North America and Internationally.

Our mission is to continue to create innovative products for discerning customers seeking exquisite, high quality and performance decorative lighting.

QUALITY

Our adherence to quality prevails throughout the entire corporation and is implemented at every step of the production process. It starts with our distinctive designs that are brought to life by meticulous craftsmen who specialize in metal, wood, glass, resin, acrylic, jewellery and many other materials. Incorporating a magnetic canopy to eliminate visible fasteners is an example of our superior product engineering. The use of 18K gold and nickel plating instead of brass or chrome ensuring a flawless and beautiful finish typifies Hèmèra's commitment to quality.

Hèmèra also understands the importance of customer service. Our dedication to quality is evident in the superior support we provide to our agencies and customers.

Our products undergo a multitude of vigorous quality controls during all stages of the manufacturing process. All fixtures are then tested, certified and shipped without compromise.
