Pierre Guariche by Sammode G25 Applique

Pierre Guariche by Sammode G25 Applique.  Designed by one of France's most important designers, Pierre Guariche, this original design is part of a selection of luminaires reissued for contemporary spaces by Sammode.  Faithful to the original design while incorporating modern technologies, the Pierre Guariche by Sammode luminaires are minimal and atmospheric, diffusing light, either softly or powerfully, through reflection or variable positioning, with no visible light source.  With its metal deflector, and brushed and lacquered adjustable brass rod, the G25 Applique will suit any space, whether over dining table as it was during the designer's lifetime, or lengthened to a more striking scale in an entrance or occasional space. Manufactured and assembled in Châtillon-sur-Saône in the Vosges region of France.    ___ About the Designer: Designer and Interior Architect Pierre Guariche was one of the most prolific luminaire designers of the 1950s. The designer invented an enormous variety of solutions to lighting structures: the cantilever, the pivoting and tilting arm, spherical counterweights to name a few. In his designs, there is no gratuitous stylistic excess or purposeless detail, whether technical or functional.  Pierre Guariche  introduced the codes of a radical aesthetic. On the one hand, purity of line and totally original forms. On the other, an innovative technical dimension and a real intelligence in the use of materials, especially metal.  As a designer and manufacturer, Sammode brings to this new collection the full weight of its industrial expertise in luminaire production, and particularly lighting suitability and a deep-rooted knowledge of metalworking.
