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.
The G13 Medium Ceiling Light is a great choice for those seeking a blend of retro charm and modern minimalism. I love how its perforated black surface lends an industrial edge while allowing soft, dispersed lighting that enhances rather than overwhelms a space. It works particularly well in contemporary interiors that feature pared-back or muted colour palettes, as well as in vintage-inspired schemes that call for statement lighting pieces. For practical styling tips, consider pairing it with simple, understated furniture to let the fixture stand out or install it in rooms with high ceilings to maximise its sculptural form. Its versatile aesthetic makes it suitable for living rooms, kitchens, or even bedrooms, where it can serve as a functional focal point.
