"At first glance, the new Eclipse Collection from Petite Friture appears deceptively simple. Designed by Marie Garnier and Asa Pingree of Brooklyn-based Garnier Pingree, the indoor/outdoor seating line is minimal in its sleek silhouettes - but as we all know, simplicity is rarely simple. Balancing pure lines with structural precision, Eclipse distills seating into circles, cylinders, and arcs. Sometimes, the boldest statements are made with the simplest forms."
"For Pingree, the Eclipse Collection draws from a deeply personal place: his upbringing as a son of a boatbuilder on the island off the coast of Maine. That foundation in craft and structure informs his exploration of shape and balance today, where each piece manages to be both sturdy and remarkably light in form. "I can explore simple shapes for beauty or fun without the structural engineering tendencies in me having a say," Pingree explains, a sentiment that reflects the collection's visual design expression."
Eclipse Collection presents minimal indoor/outdoor seating defined by pure lines and structural precision. Designers Marie Garnier and Asa Pingree distill seating into circles, cylinders, and arcs, producing pieces that feel both sturdy and remarkably light. The collection includes a daybed, lounge chair, bench, and ottoman with cocoon-like and rectilinear silhouettes that interrelate. Petite Friture reimagined the series in powder-coated aluminum produced in Portugal, with high-density foam cushions upholstered in Kvadrat or Dedar fabrics. Structures can be personalized in any RAL color to adapt Eclipse to different spaces.
