Side table by Pierre Guariche for La Plagne, circa 1965

Varnished Oregon pine side table, designed by Pierre Guariche for the Hôtel Le France in La Plagne, around 1965. This side table features clean lines, characteristic of Guariche's modernist vocabulary. It has a sliding door in white melamine concealing a compartmentalised interior: an open storage space or shelf designed for functional organisation. The combination of varnished wood and white melamine highlights the discreet elegance and practical rigor typical of the furnishings designed by Guariche for collective mountain interiors. Edition: Negroni, circa 1965. Provenance: Hôtel Le France, La Plagne. Bibliography: Pierre Guariche, Delphine Jacob & Lionel Blaisse, Éditions Norma, similar models p. 214.
