Petite Potence Lamp
Originally designed by Jean Prouvé for his own home in 1947, the Petite Potence Lamp offers a functional and elegant lighting solution. This compact version of the iconic design features a pivoting steel rod with a simple light bulb at its end, held by a steel wire. Its scaled-down proportions make it ideal for smaller spaces, including living rooms, offices, and cafés. The lamp includes an on-cord dimmer switch for adjustable lighting. Crafted from powder-coated steel, it brings a piece of design history into modern interiors. Bulb is not included.
