Vertigo Nova Pendant

The 2010 icon, rebuilt in 2020 around an integrated LED hidden inside a sphere of hand-blown sandblasted glass.

Nova keeps Constance Guisset's ribboned canopy and changes what sits at its center: a warm, dimmable 10W LED behind blown opaline glass instead of a bare bulb. Each shade is assembled by hand in France, where artisans lay every polyurethane ribbon onto the fiberglass structure individually. Petite Friture works with APF France Handicap on this assembly. See the full Petite Friture collection.

Common Questions

Do I need a bulb?
No. Nova has an integrated 10W LED delivering 1,350 lumens of warm 2700K light with CRI above 85, and it dims. That is the difference from the original Vertigo, which takes an E27 bulb.

Which size fits my room?
Small is 43.3 in across, Medium 55.1 in, Large 74.8 in. All three weigh under 7 lb, so the constraint is ceiling volume and clearance, not structural load.

How is it installed?
Two people are advised. The canopy ships folded and is opened by hand, then hung from the 118 in textile mesh cable. Rated IP20 for indoor use; CE, UKCA and UL.
