The G21 reading lamp is the perfect source of precise, intimate accent lighting.
The brushed and lacquered brass mast is adjustable using a sliding rod to set the lamp height for optimum comfort.
Available with a black/white or white/white lampshade and in a slightly perforated version, this model designed by Pierre Guariche in 1951 features a metal shade to protect eyes against the light source and direct the flow of light.
All our luminaires are manufactured, assembled and packaged at our Châtillon-sur-Saône production plant in the Vosges region of France.
Manufactured to order and shipped within 4 weeks.
If there was one design discipline in which
he excelled it was lighting.
Designer and interior architect Pierre Guariche was one of the most prolific luminaire designers of the 1950s.
That much is clear from his productive collaboration with lamp manufacturer Disderot, for which he was the preferred designer, and for which he would develop more than 40 influential and groundbreaking pieces.
Pierre Guariche designed the full range of luminaires, or perhaps more accurately families of lamps—desk lamps, floor lamps, wall lamps and pendant lamps—to cover all the needs identified for a given space. His luminaires are hugely comfortable and convenient in use, with no visible light source and an appropriate quality of light, whether intended for general lighting
or traffic areas, to create an atmosphere or for
a specific use, soft, powerful or even diffused by reflection.
It is anything but a coincidence that Sammode has decided to reissue some of these models today. For many years, our aesthetic and technological quest has not been without reference to that previously under taken
by Guariche himself.
The affinities are legion. And they can be summed up in a single word: innovation.
The designer invented an enormous variety
of solutions: the adjustable balance arm, the cantilever, the pivoting and tilting arm, the ball- jointed arm and spherical counterweights. In
his designs, there is no gratuitous stylistic excess or purposeless detail, whether technically or functionally.
Pierre Guariche introduced the codes of
a radical—not to say avant-garde—aesthetic. On the one hand, purity of line and totally original forms. On the other, an innovative technical dimension and a real intelligence in the use
of materials, especially metal.
As a designer and manufacturer, Sammode brings to this new collection the full weight of its industrial expertise in luminaire production, and particularly lighting suitability and a deep-rooted knowledge of metalworking.
Faithful to the original designs and incorporating today’s technologies, the Sammode—Pierre Guariche models benefit, like all Sammode luminaires, from exceptional production quality and French manufacture.
