Petite Friture
Petite Friture is a French design publishing house — founded in 2009 by Amélie du Passage in Paris (today with showroom in Montreuil, Île-de-France). Amélie du Passage began her career as a writer for the then French Minister of Culture Jean-Jacques Aillagon, then moved to the FIAC (International Contemporary Art Fair) and in 2009 followed her entrepreneurial conviction to close a gap in the French design market: there was a lack of a publishing house between IKEA and the international high-price segment that specifically promotes young, contemporary designers and makes their work accessible to a broader audience. Petite Friture began as a think tank and collaborative laboratory and developed into a full company. Today: more than 70 countries, selective distribution, over 60 published designers from 11+ countries, team of 40+ collaborators. Philosophy: "Libre Garde" — independent, creative, generous, energetic and optimistic. Mission: beauty as a source of good.
