Pierre Guariche
1926 - 1995
France
Pierre Guariche was a French designer, interior decorator, and architect specializing in functional and mass-produced pieces. He studied at the city’s École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Following the end of World War II, he began to exhibit his designs at the Société des Artistes Décorateurs, which was sponsored by various manufactures of industrial materials as a way to discover and sponsor emerging talent. Guariche’s first major project was a complete suite of readymade furniture which he called Prefacto, commissioned by the Airborne company. He went on to design a popular, inexpensive, and easily manufactured chair made of plastic and aluminum which became known as the Vampire Chair, and went into production in 1954. Around this time, he was commissioned by lighting designer Pierre Disderot for a series of playful lamps resembling Alexander Calder-like mobiles that delicately balance the lampshade on a horizontal post. Guariche was also an accomplished architect, and designed the French Alp ski resort La Plagne. He died in 1995 in Bandol, France.
