Charlotte Perriand was inspired by the boom of sailboats when in 1938 she conceived Potence Pivotante.

An avant-garde icon of the 1950s, Pivotante ? Poser was conceived by Charlotte Perriand as an architectural element. The light emission interacts with the material texture, volumes, dimensions and graphic signs created by the two rotating diffusers, which allow both closing and opening of the light beam for direct or indirect light.
The sculptural shape is the result of a simple geometric configuration that combines productive and functional intelligence, perfectly capturing the characteristic traits of the design by Vico Magistretti.
Graphic and playful table lamp made with an particulated arm and body in matt black metal. The two-tone lampshade with matt white interior creates a diffused light and provides the possibility of reducing the intensity of the light in the upper part thanks to the light bulb cover with the hat closure.
With direct reference to the anecdote of the apple falling on Isaac Newton?s head, suggesting the existence of gravity, Newton?s metal diffuser rotates and enlightens the natural element in a mix of direct and diffused light.
