Vertigo Nova Pendant

The Vertigo Nova with 10-meter cable (32 feet) is purpose-built for the spaces standard fixtures cannot reach: double-height living rooms, open stairwells, cathedral entries, loft conversions, and hospitality atriums. Designed by Constance Guisset (ENSCI-Les Ateliers graduate, Grand Prix du Design de la Ville de Paris 2008, Designer of the Year at Maison & Objet 2010) — whose original Vertigo pendant (2010) became a global design phenomenon and part of the MoMA collection — the Nova evolution (2020) refines every dimension with a more efficient LED hidden behind a handblown triplex glass sphere of opaline sandblasted glass. A standard 3-meter cable is spectacular in 8- to 10-foot rooms, but hang the shade 20 feet up and the proportions collapse — the 10-meter textile mesh cable solves this precisely, letting the sweeping ribbon form float at the height where it has maximum visual impact. Available in Small (Ø110 cm), Medium (Ø140 cm), and Large (Ø190 cm). Every unit is produced 100% by hand in France through Petite Friture's 12-year partnership with APF France Handicap, where 30 skilled artisans at workshops in Évreux and Amiens individually place each polyurethane ribbon onto the fiberglass structure — a process that cannot be mechanized.

All three sizes feature an integrated 10W LED delivering 1,350 lumens at 2700K warm white, CRI exceeding 90, fully dimmable, with a 50,000-hour lifespan and 5-year warranty. Fiberglass shade with matte grained powder coating, steel canopy, textile mesh cable. Small: ~2 kg, Medium: ~2.5 kg, Large: ~3.1 kg. UL Listed, IP20, CE Certified. Available in white and black. The Vertigo Nova 10M is the answer to a question architects ask constantly: how do you bring intimate, warm lighting into vast vertical spaces without losing the human scale? The sweeping fiberglass ribbons create a visual anchor — a floating sculpture of light that draws the eye and defines space within a larger volume. Whether centered over a spiral staircase, suspended above a double-height dining area, or floating in a hotel lobby, this pendant creates the atmospheric warmth that grand spaces so often lack.
