Pair of end tables by Pierre Guariche for La Plagne, circa 1965

Pair of varnished Oregon pine end tables designed by Pierre Guariche for the Hotel Le France in La Plagne, circa 1965. These end tables feature clean lines, characteristic of Guariche's modernist vocabulary. Each has a sliding white melamine door concealing a compartmentalized interior: an open storage space or shelf designed for functional organization. The combination of varnished wood and white melamine underlines the understated elegance and practical rigor characteristic of the arrangements designed by Guariche for collective mountain interiors. Edition: Negroni, circa 1965. Provenance: Hotel Le France, La Plagne. Bibliography: Pierre Guariche, Delphine Jacob & Lionel Blaisse, Éditions Norma, similar models p. 214. Ref 7423.
