The Neotenic table lamp is the fruit of the first collaboration between Petite Friture and design studio Jumbo. The collection's round, generous shapes echo the reassuring aesthetics of childhood. The designers' intention: to arouse emotion and create a carnal bond between man and object.
The mouth-blown glass of this large table lamp leaves a soft, opaline appearance to the touch, sublimating the sinuosity of the ceramic and the quality of the light.
Hand-crafted in Portugal, the body of this large designer table lamp requires a complex mold to achieve its rounded shape, particularly for the large size, which requires a six-part mold, meticulous hand-finishing of the ceramic before firing, drying against gravity and painting, either glossy and smooth or matte and powder-coated, to be applied in a single gesture, decisive for the product's outcome.

Studio Jumbo
Jumbo is a lighthearted design practice founded by old friends — Justin Donnelly and Monling Lee. Together, they produce objects and environments that are guided by an ongoing interest in reductivism and whimsy. As a result, Jumbo’s projects are both technical in execution and joyful in approach. The studio is a champion of “affective” design, focusing on forms, materials, and colors that delight.
Justin Donnelly is the Creative Director at Jumbo. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Stanford University and studied Architecture at Columbia University. His objects have been exhibited at Nomad Circle, Salone Mobile, Stockholm Furniture Fair, Chamber Gallery, ICFF, and WantedDesign. He has published design thinking in Disegno Magazine and New York Magazine. Justin’s current design projects include a large wastewater treatment plant in Alexandria, Virginia.
Monling Lee is the Art Director at Jumbo. Prior to co-founding the design studio, Monling worked as an architectural and urban designer on projects that range from private residences to urban parks and memorials. At the same time, her solo project, Colorindex.us, documented the intersection of personal style and the built environment through the lens of color. Her unique art direction garnered partnerships with international brands and was featured in Refinery 29, Coveteur, Elle, Marie Claire, and the Washington Post.
