Product family
Potence
Designed as a pivoting wall lamp for the 'Maison Tropique', Potence is regarded as one of Jean Prouvé's puristic masterpieces. The fascination of this luminaire, which is over two metres long and dimmable, stems from the spareness of its materials and forms.
Petite Potence has similar proportions to the larger model Potence, while its compact dimensions are ideally suited to smaller interiors.
