Designed as a pivoting wall lamp for the ‘Maison Tropique’ Potence (1950) is regarded as one of Jean Prouvé’s puristic masterpieces. The dimmable luminaire is over two meters long.
Petite Potence has similar proportions to the larger model Potence while its compact dimensions are ideally suited to smaller interiors.
