Neotenic is a collection of table lamps that blossomed out of Petite Friture's first collaboration with American design studio Jumbo. Inspired by comforting childhood aesthetics, Neotenic flaunts generous, organic lines. The lamp's base is shaped like corkscrew cavatappi pasta. The lamp is available in Vermillion, Cherry and Vanilla, colours that are perfectly in line with Petite Friture's chromatic identity and suggest a simplified portrayal of an aubergine and tomato sauce.
Beyond it's pop, sculptural look, the Neotenic table lamp is also technique-driven. The quality of the light is pleasant, even and powerful. The base of the lamp is made by ceramists in Portugal. The stand's curvature requires a meticulous manual finishing and undergoes a counter-gravitational drying process. The paint finish is applied in one single confident gesture to obtain the end product.
