The Sammode brand, established in 1927, combines industrial durability with architectural quality and technical precision. Its luminaires, originally designed for demanding operations, are now applied across a wide spectrum of projects.
At the same time, Sammode was the first French manufacturer to participate in the development and mass production of luminaires that meet new European safety standards. Long lifespan, reliability, and sustainability naturally complement a focus on contemporary technologies and efficient operation.
ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING
They combine functionality with high-quality craftsmanship and long lifespan while also responding to current architectural demands – balancing performance, aesthetics, and operational efficiency.
In this context, lighting becomes an active part of the design. Thanks to DALI 2 and Casambi technologies, it adapts to operational needs and daylight, enhancing comfort and reducing energy consumption. Thus, light not only serves but also shapes space and its atmosphere.
The wall fixture ELGAR finds application in a wide range of settings – from office corridors and shared kitchens to hotel rooms, restaurants, residential facades, or bathroom interiors. Thanks to its versatility, it easily adapts to various types of projects and atmospheres.
A characteristic feature is the metal grid with slanted slats that covers the light source while ensuring pleasant visual comfort. The combination of thoughtful optics and striking design thus connects technical know-how with aesthetic quality.
The pendant light KYHN is suitable for a wide range of environments – from pergolas and wine cellars to train stations, hotels, or coworking spaces. It is also suitable for dining areas, libraries, or public institutions.
It offers 360° lighting and, thanks to the stainless steel grid from designers Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost, creates a soft, pleasant light. Thus, it combines an industrial character with a gentle atmosphere.
The pendant lights MONCEAU AND VENDÔME find application in diverse environments – from bars and dining areas to entrance halls and staircases, as well as public interiors or outdoor terraces.
Both models work with light as part of the interior concept. Vendôme, with its brass grid, creates a warm, intimate atmosphere, while Monceau, with its dark structure, appears more pronounced and industrial. In both cases, it is a combination of decorative effect and functional lighting, suitable for both interiors and exteriors.
DESIGN LIGHTING
Elegant and timeless solutions connect technical precision with a distinctive visual character. An emphasis on detail, quality, and longevity makes it a sustainable choice.
Sammode's approach goes beyond purely technical solutions – it is developed in collaboration with designers, architects, and artists. The result is collections that push the boundaries of light, materials, and form, and alongside contemporary designs, include re-editions of iconic luminaires.
The ceiling fixture G13 fits into various interiors – from kitchen counters and work tables to corridors of public buildings, as well as entrance halls, waiting rooms, hotel receptions, or restaurant spaces.
In addition to its clean design, it also offers high variability – available in multiple sizes and finishes, making it suitable for standalone or linear assemblies depending on the character of the space.
OFFICES AND COMMERCIAL SPACES
In environments such as hotels, restaurants, or coworking spaces, light plays a key role in shaping the atmosphere. Intelligent systems enable easy creation of lighting scenes, adjusting intensity and character of the lighting, and controlling it centrally and remotely.
Wireless Casambi technology simplifies installation even in renovation cases and allows easy integration into existing systems, including DALI. Automatic responses to the presence of people or daylight significantly reduce energy consumption and increase visual comfort.
The fixture BRUEGHEL, available in both ceiling and pendant versions, is applied in a wide range of environments – from offices and coworking spaces to classrooms and libraries, as well as bank counters or subway platforms.
It features a highly efficient diffuser with low glare (UGR 19), ensuring visual comfort and reducing eye fatigue while maintaining a characteristic tubular, industrially tuned design.
CHANDELIERS
Whether a standard fixture or a unique light installation, Sammode offers solutions that allow projects to be developed from design to implementation.
In collaboration with architects, designers, and artists, lighting concepts are created that connect creative vision with technical know-how. The modular system of luminaires allows adapting length, materials, and configuration to the specific space, creating unique compositions – from subtle interior installations to striking light structures.
The design flexibility also facilitates working with various shapes and scales, opening space for experimentation as well as precise adaptation to the architectural intent. The result is solutions that combine technical reliability with a striking visual effect.
INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING
Designed for long-term operation even in extreme conditions, they excel in durability, reliability, and low maintenance requirements.
In industrial environments, lighting becomes an active tool for managing operations – enhancing safety and efficiency in production. With DALI 2 technology, lighting can be controlled in real-time according to current conditions and optimize energy consumption.
Connected systems also allow continuous monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and costs and supporting automation within Industry 4.0.
The tubular LED fixture CUGNOT XTREM is designed for extremely demanding operations, where it stands up to high durability and reliability.
It easily handles dust, moisture, impacts, and vibrations, withstands temperature fluctuations, and is suitable for unstable electrical networks.
EMERGENCY LIGHTING
Industrial operations impose high demands for reliable emergency lighting that ensures safety even during outages. Therefore, Sammode offers two types of solutions: autonomous BAES units with their own battery and LSC systems connected to a central power source.
Both variants are designed for extreme conditions, provide immediate lighting, and facilitate safe evacuation and continuity of operations. They are characterized by high durability, waterproofing, and reliability, thus meeting the requirements of even the most demanding industrial environments.
Emergency lighting MAXWELL is designed for demanding industrial environments and is available in a version with central power supply as well as an autonomous solution with a duration of 1 or 3 hours (according to norm IEC 62034).
It can be used for evacuation and orientation lighting. Due to its robust, hermetically sealed construction and durable materials, it ensures long-term reliability and is compatible with intelligent control systems such as DALI.
