Pied Carré: the Parabole lamp, a stoneware bowl on a steel easel

A glazed stoneware bowl, tilted on a stainless steel easel. The light starts at the bottom of the bowl and bounces off the glaze: this is the Parabole, Pied Carré's first piece, and it comes in nine finishes.

Who they are

Martin Caillault and Nicolas Leprince graduated from Strate École de Design in 2024 and have worked for themselves in Paris since September 2025, after winning the jury's first prize at the Cinna Révélateur de Talents competition. The studio works from objects to furniture, through set design and interior architecture, with particular care for materials and reuse. Their beech desk and their sets come out of their own workshop.

How the Parabole is made

Two pairs of hands for one lamp. The stoneware bowl is shaped and glazed by hand by Céline Souveton of Manufacture Sauvage, in the 18th arrondissement. The bead-blasted stainless steel base is cut and folded by DMY Tôlerie, near Marseille. The whole stands 25 cm wide and 65 cm tall, with an E14 LED 2,700 K bulb supplied and two metres of cable.

The nine finishes

Three clays: white, russet, red. And glazes that change everything: clear, storm blue, rust, matte teal, tiramisu, lichen, white. White clay under a clear glaze is the quietest; red clay under white glaze, the most graphic. €750 whatever the finish, made to order, shipping €30.

Why they are in drop 001

Because it is a lamp we had never seen, made by two French workshops we can name, at a price that holds up against the big editions. Pied Carré is one of the six studios in the first Beyit drop, opened on 1 October.

The Parabole is on Beyit, €750, nine finishes, made to order in Paris. See the studio and its pieces.
