PROUVE

I can't get enough of Jean Prouve. This light has been on my wish list for way too long now. Designed in 1950, the Potence light was originally designed for the Tropique house. Since the light pivots, I think this type of fixture could work in so many different types of rooms. For me, I am thinking office or even dining room.
Potence is reissued and manufactured by Vitra. Image (and purchasing) found via Unica Home

The price tag is a little steep, so you may want to first start by buying Compact Design Portfolio: Jean Prouve. Detailing Jean Prouve's body of work from chairs to light fixtures. Makes a great gift. Only $12.95 at Unica Home.
