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 Pierre Guariche's lamps are now reaching new heights in auction rooms. Faithful to the original design and incorporating contemporary technologies, these lights, like all Sammode lights, display an exceptional quality of workmanship and French manufacture. Sammode Studio revisits the avant-garde spirit of one of the key lighting designers of the 1950s. 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 1952, the G13 ceiling lamp consists of a perforated metal grille. Inside, an authentic glass Fresnel lens ensures optimal light diffusion, without glare.
I really like this G13 large ceiling light for its sleek, minimalist aesthetic and vintage-modern vibe. Its perforated black finish makes it a versatile piece that works well in contemporary, industrial, or mid-century inspired interiors. I’d recommend it in spaces where you want a statement but understated light fixture-think living rooms, kitchens, or even a study. Practical styling tips include pairing it with understated furnishings to let the shape and texture stand out, or layering with other matte black accents for a cohesive look. It also works well with dimmable bulbs to create the right ambiance, making it a versatile choice for everyday use or a more curated lighting scene.
