Description
During the 1940s, Jean Prouvé designed the Potence wall lamp for his own home in Nancy: a simple bulb attached to a long pivoting steel bar, held in place by a steel wire. In 1947, he developed a conical lampshade that could be adapted to different versions and sizes of Potence.
Published by Vitra, Abat-Jour Conique is the first lampshade for Potence designed by Jean Prouvé and is intended for the Potence and Petite Potence lamps. It is simply inserted into the bulb and removed as required.
The Conic lampshade is sold separately. The Potence and Petite Potence lamps must be ordered separately.

Jean PROUVE
Born in Paris in 1901, Jean Prouvé apprenticed as a silversmith with Emile Robert in Enghien and Szabo in Paris, before continuing his studies at the Ecole Supérieure de Nancy. From 1923 onwards, he established himself as a builder-designer through a body of architectural and furniture work that advocated an aesthetic of necessity. In 1930, he co-founded the artists' association "Union des Artistes Modernes" (U.A.M.), and in 1931 he created "Les Ateliers Jean Prouvé". It was here that many pieces of furniture were created in the 1930s, as well as the first prefabricated architectural elements. His university furniture, Cité (1931) and Antony (1954), ingeniously manage utilitarian aspects, respect for and economy of material and the demands of mass production. For some years now, Vitra has been reissuing the finest examples of its furniture production. Among his greatest design classics is Antony, a unique armchair. The latter stands out for its surprising structure, which Jean Prouvé combined with a strikingly dynamic form. Another example is the Potence swivel wall lamp designed in 1950 for the "Tropique" house, rightly considered to be the designer's purist masterpiece.
