Vertigo Nova pendant light from Petite Friture

Petite Friture and Constance Guisset, an inseparable duo with ambitious goals, have opened a new chapter in the Vertigo story with Vertigo Nova: a highly technical piece of sophisticated design. The huge veil of graphic lines, mounted on a sphere of hand-blown glass, uses built-in LED technology to emit a soft light. One line, available in black or white, for two subtly different moods: opalescent white on white or ash grey on black for the height of sophistication. In white, the light bursts out of the globe and bathes the room in luxuriant rays. The designer of the luminaire describes the subdued mood of the delicate glow in the black version as "light that becomes a sensation and a glowing presence, like the soft haze of frosted glass, it creates a mystery". Constance Guisset Constance Guisset, born in 1976, lives and works in Paris. Constance Guisset is a French designer with an original story. After studying economics at the ESSEC and the IEP in Paris and a year in parliament in Tokyo, she decided to focus on design. In 2007, she graduated from ENSCI - Les Ateliers and founded her studio. She quickly gained recognition through awards such as the Grand Prix du Design de la ville de Paris in 2008, the Audience Award at the Design Parade at Villa Noailles in 2009 and finally, in 2010, both the Designer of the Year at Maison et Objet and the Audi Talent Awards.
