Francis is a mirror created by Constance Guisset for Petite Friture. The motif used for Francis is the result of a collection of experiments with colour using pigments leaked into water, guided by a circular design. The result is an illusion of convexity. A make-up palette or a mirror ageing? The user looks at themself through luminous oxidation, evocative of a planet. The back of the mirror, shaped like a spinning-top, has a practical cord in the centre from which to hang it, causing it to lean forwards, in the style of certain Venetian mirrors, creating an elegant atmosphere in an entrance hall or bedroom.
After studying at ESSEC and Sciences Po, Constance Guisset turned to design and entered ENSCI - Les Ateliers, from which she graduated in 2007. In 2008, she received numerous awards for her work, including the Grand Prix du Design de la Ville de Paris. In 2010, she was named Designer of the Year at the Salon Maison & Objets and won the Audi Talents Award. Constance Guisset set up her own design and architecture studio in 2009 and works with a number of brands. His pieces for Petite Friture are already design classics, including the Vertigo suspension lamp, and more recently the Chantilly collection of lamps for Moustache has been a great success.
