Charlotte Perriand drew inspiration for Nemo's Potence Pivotante wall lamp from the nautical world: in fact, its shape echoes that of the boom, that is, the support beam of the mainsail in the sail of a boat. Potence Pivotante was born in 1938, a period in which Perriand worked closely with the designer Jean Prouvé, who more than ten years later will resume its shapes to give life to his most famous lamp, the Potence, now reissued by Vitra. Minimalist and almost Spartan, Potence Pivotante has the shape of an inverted L, in which one of the arms is fixed along the wall while the other extends into space and can rotate 180 °.

Thanks to a cunning politic of re-edition of classics of the past and the collaboration with some of the most prestigious designers of the international panorama, Nemo’s light qualifies as a true author’s light. Founded in the 90s by Franco Cassina and Carlo Forcolini to go alongside Cassina’s production with high qualitative level lamps, thanks to its prestigious birthplace the company has been able to benefit from production rights of the illumination projects by some of the greatest masters of the twentieth century, listing in its catalogue names such as Le Corbusier and Franco Albini.Read more
Designed by
Charlotte Perriand
Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) was one of the most important female figures in the history of twentieth-century architecture and design. She owes the beginnings of her career to Le Corbusier, deity of the Modern Movement, in whose studio she enters shortly after the end of her training path and with whom she collaborates for ten years, from 1927 to 1937. The two sign some of the most famous furniture of Modernism, in which they give full artistic dignity to a material such as tubular steel. She is a strong and independent person, she gradually begins to feel the need for a greater possibility of individual expression, and she begins to work on her own, or in collaboration with the equally famous Jean Prouvé. She is very fond of travel and does not set boundaries: she has the opportunity to visit the Soviet Union and Japan, where she spends the entire period of the Second World War. In the postwar period she works more and more often on her own, softening her lines and moving away from the influence of Modernism. Among her most famous projects, the interior of the United Nations Building in Geneva and the ski resort of Méribel. Her furnishings are all reissued by Cassina.Read more
