Jean Prouvé for Vitra
Concept
The Petite Potence Wall Lamp Deep Black was designed in by Jean Prouvé for his own home in Nancy in 1947. The visible light source is attached to a swivelling arm held by a wire. The functional lamp has a simple design that was soon produced in different sizes - take your pick:

• Potence, has an impressive swing arm of 203 centimetres. Perfect as flexible lighting over larger work areas or as a different kind of lighting over the coffee table.
  
• Petite Potence, has the same proportions as the larger model, but with a swing arm of 103 centimetres, it is ideal for smaller areas. For example, over a desk or kitchen table, or as a reading lamp by the sofa group.

The swing arm has a powder-coated finish in colours derived from the original shades used by Prouvé. Thanks to its simple look, the lamp can be used in countless settings - from the dining room to cafés.
