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 1953, the G24 lamp combines intriguing lines with a practical light. The reflected light allows for practical, even lighting with no glare. Elegant, delicate and sculptural, it wonderfully lights up a desk, a console or a bedside table.
