High/Low: The Iconic Potence Lamp by Jean Prouve

September 24, 2012

Combining the best of industrial engineering and sculptural grace, the pared-down Jean Prouvé Potence Lamp is a design icon (as such, it comes with lofty price tag). But thanks to a DIY version developed by a Las Vegas couple, this emblematic light really is within reach.
