Petite Friture

Petite Friture: A French Design House Celebrating Bold Creativity

Petite Friture is more than a design brand—it’s a platform for expressive, boundary-pushing creativity. Founded in France in 2009, the studio has built its identity around meaningful collaborations with emerging and established talents from around the world. The result is a portfolio of modern furniture, lighting, and objects that embrace whimsy, elegance, and intention. Rather than following trends, Petite Friture leans into personality, creating designs that make a statement without losing function.

Many of its most recognized pieces—like the dramatic Vertigo pendant lamp—combine sculptural form with everyday utility. From modern chairs to standout tables and playful accessories, the brand champions the kind of work that sparks conversation while still fitting naturally into thoughtful interiors.

A Collaborative Approach to Contemporary Design

The strength of Petite Friture lies in its deep commitment to creative freedom. The brand works closely with nearly two dozen designers and studios, each bringing a distinct point of view. Together, they explore color, material, and form with an openness that results in original designs with lasting impact. There’s a clear respect for the design process—from idea to production—which shows in the thoughtful details of each product.

Unlike traditional Scandinavian furniture brands that lean toward restraint, Petite Friture welcomes personality. Their catalog features objects that feel curated but never cautious, perfect for spaces that value originality as much as quality.

Modern Furniture with Artful Intention

While Petite Friture is best known for its lighting, its growing furniture line deserves equal attention. Pieces like the Week-End outdoor collection or the Francis Mirror reflect the brand’s dedication to art-driven design that also serves real life. Their modern chairs combine clever silhouettes with unexpected color palettes, while tables and stools are often graphic, stackable, and suited for both residential and commercial use.

Whether it's a statement pendant or a versatile seat, each design reflects Petite Friture’s belief that good design should provoke thought, spark joy, and support the way we live now.
