The famous designer Jean Prouvé created the iconic lamp Petite Potence produced by the brand Vitra. Is made in powder-coated tubular steel, cord dimmer, 1 bulb included. Available in japanese red and deep black.
Jean Prouvé created the first version of the Potence wall lamp in the 1940s for his own home in Nancy: a simple light bulb affixed to a long, pivoting steel bar, which is held by a steel wire. This functionalist, puristic design was soon produced in various sizes, with an added handle on larger models to facilitate the swivel movement. Petite Potence has similar proportions to the larger model Potence, while its compact dimensions are ideally suited to smaller interiors. The swing arm is 103 cm long, with a powder-coated finish in colours derived from the original hues used by Prouvé. The cable is sheathed in a high-quality textile casing, and the LED bulb is dimmable. Thanks to its reductive aesthetic, Petite Potence is an ideal lighting choice for a wide variety of settings, from dining and living rooms to offices or cafés.

Designed by Jean Prouvé
Jean Prouvé was born in 1901 in Nancy and completed his training as a metal artisan in Paris. He went on to open his workshop in his native town in the early 1920s. He was one of the firsts who devoted themselves to metal prefabbrication, which made him a reference point for rationalist architects and designers, such as Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Marcel Lodsed, Eugène Beaudoin, Yona Friedman e Georges Candilis. Although being self-taught in the field of engineering and architecture, he gave a decisive contribution to post-war reconstruction in France and designed a wide range of objects, from modular building systems to chairs, imposing a style which combines beauty and materials functionality.
