Vendôme Collection – The Golden Elegance of Sammode’s Architectural Tubular Light

Vendôme Collection – The Golden Elegance of Sammode’s Architectural Tubular Light

The Vendôme collection by Sammode embodies a perfect balance between architectural design, Parisian heritage, and industrial robustness. Designed by Normal Studio as part of the Paname collection, it reinterprets Sammode’s iconic tubular light through a refined metal grille imagined as a true luminous jewel.

Inspired by the famous Place Vendôme – the heart of Parisian high jewelry – this collection treats light as a precious object, both when lit and unlit.

Available as horizontal suspensions, wall lights, ceiling lights, Mini and Nano formats, and even a floor lamp, the Vendôme range offers a complete family of luminaires suitable for all environments, indoor and outdoor (except the floor lamp, which is indoor only).

1. Why “Vendôme”? A collection inspired by Parisian high jewelry

The name “Vendôme” pays homage to Place Vendôme, the historic center of French jewelry and a symbol of elegance.

Normal Studio created a golden perforated grille with interlocking motifs reminiscent of the architecture, façades and paving stones of this iconic square.

The result is a luminaire with warm, precious reflections that transforms any space with a soft, enveloping and sophisticated glow.

This delicate metal lattice acts like a luminous skin, wrapped around Sammode’s industrial tube while giving it a completely new decorative dimension.

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

Their approach:

  • preserve the industrial DNA of the Sammode tube,

  • enrich it with a new materiality,

  • transform it into an architectural lighting object for the most ambitious projects.

Their work results in:

  • a perforated grille with refined patterns,

  • subtle reflections and delicate shadow play,

  • a strong, instantly recognizable visual signature.

10. The inspiration behind Vendôme

10. The inspiration behind Vendôme

The Vendôme collection was created to elevate the industrial tubular luminaire and transform it into a precious object worthy of Parisian architectural landscapes.

Normal Studio sought to translate:

  • the glow of high-jewelry shop windows,

  • the golden reflections of façades,

  • the elegant geometry of Place Vendôme.

The interlocking golden grille is inspired by luxury jewelry patterns, giving the luminaire a precious aura.

The result is an architectural, refined, timeless and expressive light object.
