designed by Jean Prouvé, 1947

Jean Prouvé created the first version of the Potence wall lamp in the 1940s for his own home in Nancy: a simple bulb attached to a long swinging steel rod held by a steel wire.

This functionalist, purist design was soon produced in a variety of sizes, with the addition of a handle on larger models to facilitate swiveling movement.

The Petite Potence has similar proportions to the larger Potence model, while its compact size is ideal for smaller interiors.

The swing arm is 103cm long, powder coated in colours derived from the original shades used by Prouvé.

The cable is sheathed in a high quality fabric sleeve and the LED bulb is dimmable.

With its reductive aesthetic, Petite Potence is the ideal lighting choice for a wide range of environments, from dining and living rooms to offices and cafes.
