Description
Vitra’s Lampe de Bureau is a classic French table lamp designed by Jean Prouvé in the 1930s. Prouvé designed Lampe de Bureau originally for the halls of residence at the Cité Universitaire in Nancy, France, and its clean, functional design is well suited also for the modern interiors of today. Made of bent sheet steel, Lampe de Bureau reflects downward, glare-free light, and its lower level can be used for storing small items, such as pens or notes. Powder-coated with the original hues by Prouvé, Lampe de Bureau makes an excellent desk light both at home and in the office.
The lamp’s subtle hue is part of Jean Prouvé’s original colour palette. The colour used to be called “ecru” in Vitra’s furniture, but in 2022, the name was changed to Blanc Colombe, Prouvé’s original name for the hue. The poetic name is French, and its direct translation would be “dove white”.
