It was in 1967 that Sammode perfected its iconic TFH hermetic fluorescent tube luminaire. This apparently simple design – a tube closed at both ends by a stainless steel cap – is, in reality, a technically sophisticated solution with its own instantly identifiable aesthetic. Fit for purpose and highly efficient, the product quickly gathered a cult following. With nearly 50 years’ experience in industrial lighting, Sammode is now making this expertise available to the domestic market, with the introduction of its special Sammode Studio range of timelessly stylish luminaires.

Developed out of the brand’s architectural ranges, the Sammode Studio range has been designed and configured entirely for domestic applications. Some products in the range use grids or other forms of metallic mesh to accentuate their unique aesthetic. All combine simplicity with elegance and efficiency to create tangible feelings of safety and comfort. Acclaimed by construction professionals, the performance and strength of Sammode luminaires are interpreted in ways that favour comfort and mood. All the luminaires are manufactured, assembled and packaged at the brand’s Châtillon-sur-Saône production plant in the Vosges region of France. Join CovetED in discovering some of its distinctive models.
