Pierre Guariche by Sammode G1 Floor Lamp - Chalk White

Pierre Guariche by Sammode G1 Large Floor Lamp in Chalk.  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. This magisterial and timeless floor lamp was designed by Pierre Guariche in 1951 and is a style that has come to symbolise the luminaries created by this designer. Featuring an embossed metal lampshade and two light sources to provide direct and indirect lighting. Perfectly balanced by its solid brass counterweight, the brass arm also test the limits of gravity.   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.
