The Vitra Abat-Jour Conique encapsulates the legacy of functional design and clean aesthetics of the renowned designer Jean Prouvé. Originally conceived in the 1940s as a complement to his innovative Potence wall lamp, this cone-shaped shade is a design treasure, a testament to Prouvé's ongoing quest for practical yet elegant solutions in domestic lighting.
Its simple yet sophisticated conical shape is designed to diffuse light evenly and effectively, perfectly complementing the Potence and Petite Potence lamps. Prouvé's approach to design, always intended as an encounter between form and function, finds one of its purest expressions in this lampshade.
Designed to be mounted directly on the bulb, the Vitra Abat-Jour Conique is extremely practical: it can be easily removed if a more direct light is desired or for cleaning purposes. Today, as then, the Vitra Abat-Jour Conique is not just a lighting accessory, but a piece of design history that fits perfectly in contemporary as well as more traditional settings thanks to its sophisticated design.
