Jean Prouvé Swing Jib Wall Lamp Mid-century French Sconce, 1950s
About the Item
In terms of purism and minimalism, this lamp, in the style of Jean Prouvé’s wall lamp ‘Swing Jib’ or ‘Potence’ is almost sovereign. Maximal functionality combined with minimal input of materials were the main design principles. The result is an almost sovereign and iconic design. The arm of the light can be swung horizontally in either direction. US plug and lightbulb included.
Jean Prouvé believed in design as a vehicle for improvement. His manufactory Les Ateliers Jean Prouvé, located in Nancy, France, produced furniture for schools, factories and municipal projects, both within France and in locations as far flung as the Congo. Though he designed for the masses, pieces such as his "Potence" lamps and "Standard" chairs are among the most iconic fixtures in sophisticated, high-design interiors today. Collectors connect with his utilitarian, austere designs that strip materials down to the bare minimum without compromising on proportion or style.
Prouvé grew up in Nancy, France, the son of Victor Prouvé, an artist and co-founder of the École de Nancy, and Marie Duhamel, a pianist. He apprenticed to master blacksmiths in Paris and opened a small wrought iron forge in Nancy. However it was sheet steel that ultimately captured Prouvé's imagination, and he ingeniously adapted it to furniture, lighting and even pre-fabricated houses, often collaborating with other design luminaries of the period, such as Robert Mallet-Stevens, Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand.
