Charlotte Perriand was inspired by the sailboat boom when, in 1938, she conceived the Potence Pivotante , a purist masterpiece reduced to the essentials. Designed as a highly accessible swivel lamp, realized using two black tubular sections assembled in the shape of an inverted L to lead the electrical wire from the switch to the bulb.

The original version is equipped with a Globo E27 bulb, while the MINI version is available with G9 mount and diffuser in opal sandblasted glass. The arm attached to the wall rotates 180° horizontally. Power cord supplied with plug and dimmer.
