Vitra's Petite Potence wall lamp was designed by Jean Prouvé in 1947. Prouvé designed the first Potence lamp for his own home in Nancy, France, and its refined functionalism has since found its place in numerous uses in homes and public settings.
Potence is considered one of Prouvé's most purist works: it consists of a lamp and a pivoting steel bar held by a steel wire. The steel bar is over a meter long and the included LED bulb is dimmable. Petite Potence attracts attention with its timeless, minimalist appearance, and is also a great alternative to pendant lights.
