200 cm. Vintage icon… Sammode Studio is reissuing a selection of lights
designed in the 1950s by an iconic figure of post-war French design: Pierre
Guariche (1926 – 1995). These strikingly modern lamps are pure of shape and
very innovative for the post-war period. The original models of the lights from
Pierre Guariche are now reaching new heights in the auction houses… As such,
Sammode Studio is revisiting the avant-guard spirit of one of its leading
creators in terms of lights from the 1950s. Faithful to the original and
integrating contemporary technology, these lights benefit, like all the Sammode
lights, from outstanding workmanship. All the Sammode lights are made, assembled
and packaged in the factory of Châtillon-sur-Saône in Vosges. Very prolific,
in the 1950s, Pierre Guariche designed a multitude of lighting models
corresponding to different uses. His lights offer great user comfort and optimal
light quality. There’s no apparent light source, thus avoiding glare. Pierre
Guariche didn’t study the possibility of expressing a style, but the best way
of lighting a room. The technological ambition of Sammode Studio provides each
part of the collection with advanced technical devices (swivel arm, cantilever,
swivel or tilting jib, articulated spherical arm or counterweight sphere, etc.).
Designed in 1951, the G1 wall light stands out due to its metal lampshade which
contains two light sources, providing lighting that is both direct and indirect
(directed upwards and downwards) Inside the lampshade a white aluminium cover
located in front of the bulb allows for lighting with no glare. Decorated with a
solid brass ball serving as a counter-weight, the long arm also made from brass
almost defies gravity. Tilting and adjustable, it lets you direct the light
accurately and agilely.
