Potence
The Potence wall lamp is one of Jean Prouvé's puristic
masterpieces. Reduced to the essentials – a light bulb and a pivoting wall
mount – the long swing arm wall light is made of powder-coated tubular steel
with a oakwood handle. The lamp is controlled by a cord dimmer and comes
equipped with a light bulb.

he left the company in 1953. During the ensuing decades, Prouvé served as a
