Sammode Monceau – Chevron Design Light Indoor/Outdoor

Monceau Collection – The Iconic Chevron Tubular Light by Sammode

The Monceau collection embodies the perfect balance between architectural design, Parisian elegance, and industrial durability. With its distinctive perforated metal chevron grid — inspired by the traditional herringbone parquet floors of Haussmann apartments — Monceau transforms the iconic Sammode tube into a decorative light object with strong graphic presence.

Designed by the Paris-based duo Normal Studio and part of the Paname collection, Monceau reinterprets Sammode’s legendary tubular luminaire by giving it a refined, textured, and contemporary identity.

All models are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, except the Monceau 133 floor lamp, which is indoor only.

1. Why “Monceau”? A tribute to Parisian refinement

The name “Monceau” references the elegant Parisian district known for its Haussmann buildings and their timeless herringbone parquet floors.

Normal Studio translated this iconic visual identity into a modern lighting object, designing a coal-black perforated metal chevron grid.

The result is a luminaire that captures the essence of French heritage while embracing contemporary aesthetics — warm, graphic, and subtly sophisticated.

2. The designers – Normal Studio and the reinterpretation of the Sammode tube

The Monceau collection is created by Normal Studio, the Parisian duo composed of Jean-François Dingjian and Éloi Chafaï, artistic directors of Sammode since 2014.

Their mission:

preserve the industrial DNA of the Sammode tube,
give it a new materiality,
and elevate it into an architectural lighting object.

With Monceau, they achieve a refined balance between industrial precision and elegant Parisian design.

3. Part of the Paname collection – A tribute to the City of Light

Monceau belongs to the Paname collection, a range of four metal grids inspired by iconic Parisian districts:

Vendôme – golden, jewelry-inspired grid
Monceau – black chevron motif
Belleville – industrial perforated grid
Rivoli – graphical vertical lines

Paname revisits the tubular luminaire through a decorative lens, combining aesthetics and performance — a perfect match for modern architectural projects.

10. Why was Monceau created? The story behind the design

Normal Studio drew inspiration from:

the timeless elegance of Haussmann interiors,
herringbone parquet floors,
French classical geometry,
and minimalist contemporary design.

The chevron metal grid was imagined as a modern reinterpretation of a historic motif, giving the luminaire structure, depth, and strong visual identity.

It results in a refined, enduring object that enriches every space with presence and light.
