© Galerie Pascal Cuisinier THE MAGAZINE DESIGN Series of three G13, ceiling lights, Diderot Edition, 1952. 120 GAZETTE DROUOT INTERNATIONAL I N° 19
DESIGN THE MAGAZINE Norma, Pascal Cuisiner provides a critical analysis of each of the models referenced. In his view, the socalled "kite" G25 wall light is probably one of the most interesting lighting appliances of the 20th century: "It is one of the world's very few lights with three modes of lighting – direct, indirect and reflected – using a single source, and it also has a very particular, filtered light, thanks to the microperforated metal sheeting." The luminous refinements of Pierre Guariche did not demand a wealth of means, but were obtained with elegant simplicity. The same economy is seen in the materials: when a tube has an important role, requiring a resistance, it is in steel, but is in brass if it only has to conceal a cable; lampshades are made of fabric when light needs to be diffused, and of metal sheeting when it needs to be more directional. Though widely illustrated in the press, Guariche's lights did not find a public: a situation shared by most French designers in the Fifties and Sixties. Disderot, who also produced works by Alain Richard, Joseph-André Motte and René-Jean Caillette, picked up 80% of his orders at the Ideal Home Exhibition, mainly from architects and interior designers. So Guariche's lamps were scarcely distributed, some never exceeding thirty or so copies, or even fewer. Likewise, special orders were extremely rare, and variations of the same model only involved finishes concerning the metal, the colours of lacquers and patinas. Guariche stopped working in 1959, not due to a lack of commercial success, but because he then turned to interior architecture, enjoying a very full career that included the Firminy community arts centre and the La Plagne ski resort. His last light, the G54 floor lamp, could be read as a manifesto: a simple Plexiglas tube maintained vertically by a minimalist metal structure. A low lamp, it diffuses its light at floor level, anticipating a lifestyle that was to flourish after the uproar of 1968. A genuine forerunner… Sylvain Alliod I To be published at the end of the year by the Editions Norma: a book on Pierre Guariche's lighting by Pascal Cuisinier, Delphine Jacob and Bernard Wauthier-Wermser. www.galeriepascalcuisinier.com W N° 19 I GAZETTE DROUOT INTERNATIONAL 121
