LED bulb offered with each ordered Lamp
The stunning G1 pendant light is one of three versions of the iconic G1 series developed out of the 1951 classic by design genius Pierre Guariche.
G1 is also available as a floor lamp (in two sizes: G1 Floor & G1 Floor Large) and G1 wall lamp
Its timeless design features an embossed metal lampshade and two light sources to provide direct and indirect lighting.
Perfectly balanced by its solid brass ball counterweight, the brass arm can be positioned wherever you need it.
It will provide the perfect finishing touch to your entrance hall ceiling, living room or even bedroom, creating a warm, welcoming designer atmosphere.
Its spectacular shade is available in four finishes: vermilion red, black, white and chalk, so all you have to do is choose which will enhance your room perfectly!
It’s lit by two bulbs for an even, comfortable spread of light.
All our luminaires are manufactured, assembled and packaged at our Châtillon-sur-Saône production plant in the Vosges region of France.
Made 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.
