New York-based design studio Jumbo designs the latest Neotenic collection for Petite Friture, which is a lighting series that is made up of table lamps. These are beautifully made to work as a lighting piece or an art sculpture. Boasting a bulbous shape, it is complete with a handblown glass orb.
There are three colorways of lighting including cherry, vanilla, and vermilion, evoking a childlike memory of comfort. It comes in a large and small size options to cater to different spaces. The Neotenic collection starts with the base foundation that is made by ceramic artisans and handprinted in Portugal. The finishings are meticulous with the manual process before it is fired and then hardened.
