Overview
With its name derived from a star, the lamp sculpture intrigues with its unique style, striking a balance between technology and elegance. “Vertigo Nova is born of the desire to work and shape light as an object, to soften and mold it. Here, the technical prowess lies in the mysterious sand-blasted glass. [...] a light and delicate veil floating between two worlds”. The lamp comes in black or white, for two subtly different moods: opalescent white on white, or ashen grey on black for a more sophisticated look. In white, light bursts out of the globe bathing the room in luxuriant rays. In its black version, the designer describes the subdued mood of the delicate glow as “light becoming a sensation and a glowing presence, like the soft haze of frosted glass, it creates mystery”.
Petite Friture is a French design house working with emerging and well established designers to create unique long-lasting collections with a free spirit and a strong focus on sustainability.

Designer
Constance Guisset founded her studio specializing in design, interior architecture and scenography in 2009. Her work is marked by a search for balance between ergonomics, delicacy and imagination. Her objects are all attempts to explore the embodiment of movement through lightness or surprise, while defending a demand for comfort and welcoming of bodies and their gestures. After studying at ESSEC and Sciences Po, followed by a year at the Tokyo Parliament, Constance Guisset turned to design and entered ENSCI - Les Ateliers, from which she graduated in 2007. In 2008, she won the Grand Prix du Design de la Ville de Paris, the Prix du Public at the Villa Noailles Design Parade and two Aides à Projets from the VIA. In 2010, she was named Designer of the Year at the Salon Maison & Objet and won the Audi Talents Awards. Constance Guisset works with numerous French and international furniture publishers, including Petite Friture, Moustache, Tectona, Nature & Découvertes, Molteni&C, LaCividina and ZaoZuo. The studio also designs industrial objects and jewelry. Its objects are now part of the collections of the FNAC, CNAP and the Centre national d'art et de culture Georges-Pompidou.
