Lamp de Bureau

Description

The small Lampe de Bureau, designed by Jean Prouvé for Vitra, is a practical luminaire that adds a decorative accent to both offices and homes. The word 'Lampe de Bureau' is literally translated to 'desk lamp'. Jean Prouvé originally designed this limited-edition table lamp in 1930.

The powder-coated finish comes in several colors, which are derived from the original hues used by Prouvé, and the power cable is sheathed in a high-quality textile casing.

Designer

Jean Prouvé, 1930

Jean Prouvé, who regarded himself as an engineer throughout his lifetime, was both the designer and manufacturer of his product ideas. Jean Prouvé achieved the goal of uniting functional requirements, the honest use of materials, and economic concerns with the complex demands of mass production.

Brand

Vitra is much more than a brand but rather a staple of design. Established in 1950 in Birsfelden, Switzerland, the brand has left its mark on design history through its transcending path. Starting as a furniture producer, it paved its way to manufacturing and ultimately became the powerhouse design institution we see today.
