Pierre Guariche (1926-1995) was a leading interior architect,
furniture, and lighting designer in postwar France. He created a
prolific body of work during what is known as the Thirty Glorious
Years (1945-1975), a period of economic prosperity and high growth
in France. He was an early adopter of industrial materials and
production techniques that emerged during the 1950s, and is known
for his remarkable lighting fixtures and simple, elegant furniture
designs that could be manufactured on a large scale. He worked with
innovative companies like Airborne, Steiner, and Pierre Disderot;
he co-founded a design collective (Atelier de Recherche Plastique-
ARP); and was the artistic director for the Meurop furniture
company in Belgium. In advance of Charlotte Perriand in Les Arcs
and Marcel Breuer in Flaine, he worked with the architect Michel
Bezançon on the creation of La Plagne, the first comprehensive
winter sports resort in France. Making use of unpublished archives,
this book looks back on a rich itinerary of over 200 interior
architecture and design projects, almost as many pieces of
furniture, and a series of remarkable lighting fixtures (reissued
today by Sammode) which shed light on the modernity and timeless
elegance of this remarkable creator. Text in English and French.
