Among Pierre Guariche’s most celebrated creations, the G25 lamps hold a special place in the history of French design. Designed in 1951, they perfectly embody the designer’s philosophy: creating lighting that is elegant, functional and timeless, while providing outstanding visual comfort and enhancing interior architecture.
More than seventy years after their creation, the G25 lamps continue to captivate architects, interior designers and design enthusiasts. Thanks to the expertise of Sammode, they are now faithfully reissued, respecting the original drawings, and manufactured in France at the company’s historic factory in Châtillon-sur-Saône.
Available as both a wall light and a pendant light, the G25 models share the same distinctive design language, premium materials and exceptional manufacturing standards.
A leading figure in twentieth-century design, Pierre Guariche (1926–1995) profoundly influenced the history of French furniture and lighting design.
After graduating from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, he developed a philosophy in which every object had to fulfil a genuine purpose while maintaining remarkable elegance.
His creations are characterised by:
The G25 lamps perfectly illustrate this philosophy, where apparent simplicity conceals exceptional work on proportions, balance and light diffusion.
Founded in 1927, Sammode is internationally recognised for the quality of its lighting, proudly manufactured in France.
Working closely with Pierre Guariche’s estate, the company faithfully reissues several of his iconic designs while preserving the original plans, materials and proportions created during the 1950s.
Every luminaire is entirely manufactured and assembled in the workshops of Châtillon-sur-Saône, ensuring exceptional build quality, outstanding durability and impeccable finishes.
Choosing a G25 means investing in a genuine piece of French design heritage, created to last for generations.
The G25 lamps immediately stand out for their graphic elegance.
The slender arm in brushed lacquered brass appears to suspend the reflector effortlessly, creating a remarkable sense of balance. This visual harmony is reinforced by the perfectly proportioned design imagined by Pierre Guariche.
The black lacquered steel reflector, combined with its white interior, optimises light reflection to produce soft, even and exceptionally comfortable illumination.
The combination of premium materials and minimalist lines gives the G25 a timeless aesthetic that integrates beautifully into both contemporary and classic interiors.
The G25 Wall Light is undoubtedly Pierre Guariche’s most iconic model.
Thanks to its adjustable arm, extending from 83 to 126 cm, it offers outstanding flexibility.
It can precisely illuminate a sofa, reading chair, desk or bedside area while maintaining an elegant visual lightness.
Its integrated dimmer allows the brightness to be adjusted easily, creating the perfect atmosphere throughout the day.
The G25 also provides an excellent alternative to a pendant light whenever no ceiling electrical connection is available.
Available as a pendant light, the G25 retains the distinctive design language of the wall light while offering an ideal solution for general lighting.
Its adjustable suspension cable allows the installation height to be perfectly adapted to every space.
Installed above a dining table, kitchen island, desk or reception area, it immediately adds elegance and sophistication.
Its steel reflector delivers direct yet comfortable illumination while effectively reducing glare thanks to its white interior.
Available in black or white, it blends naturally into contemporary, Scandinavian and classic interiors alike.
Like all of Pierre Guariche’s creations, the G25 lamps place lighting quality at the heart of their design.
Compatible with an E27 LED bulb (maximum 11 W), they are designed to produce a 2700 K warm white light, creating a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.
The carefully designed reflector directs light precisely while minimising glare, ensuring exceptional visual comfort in both living spaces and work environments.
Thanks to the integrated dimmer, the brightness can easily be adjusted to suit any mood or occasion.
