The Petra Obsidian Rectangular Chandelier is a contemporary architectural lighting piece defined by matte black brass, cascading glass elements, and disciplined linear form. Designed to anchor modern interiors, it delivers depth, balance, and controlled illumination for dining rooms, kitchen islands, and open-plan living spaces.
Petra Obsidian Rectangular Chandelier — Design & Architectural Presence
The Petra Obsidian Rectangular Chandelier is conceived as an architectural element rather than a decorative feature. Defined by its matte black finish, linear geometry, and disciplined vertical composition, Petra Obsidian introduces lighting as structure — anchoring contemporary interiors with depth, clarity, and controlled contrast.
At 137 cm (54”) in length, 83 cm (33”) in height, and 36 cm (14”) in width, the chandelier is proportioned to command space without excess. Its elongated rectangular canopy establishes a strong horizontal datum, while the cascading vertical glass elements create rhythm and scale, visually connecting ceiling height to the space below. This balance between horizontal and vertical planes allows Petra Obsidian to read as part of the architecture itself, not an applied object.
Crafted from a solid brass body finished in matte black, the chandelier pairs architectural glass elements with brass support rods arranged in a precise, consistent sequence. When illuminated, the glass captures and refracts light with clarity, producing a layered luminous effect that contrasts subtly against the dark structure. Rather than sparkle, the light is composed and deliberate — atmospheric without being ornamental.
Petra Obsidian is particularly suited to modern dining rooms, kitchen islands, and open-plan living spaces where lighting must define zones and establish visual order. Its monochromatic finish integrates seamlessly with materials such as stone, marble, concrete, timber, and metal, making it ideal for contemporary homes, design-led renovations, and new-build residences.
From a functional perspective, the chandelier delivers balanced illumination through concealed multi-point light sources, ensuring even light distribution across large surfaces. The use of G9 LED-compatible lighting allows for warm ambient illumination and dimming capability, enabling the mood of the space to be adjusted with precision.
Beyond its immediate visual impact, Petra Obsidian is designed for longevity. Its restrained palette, disciplined geometry, and honest materials ensure it remains relevant beyond trends, ageing gracefully within its architectural setting. The matte black finish adds depth and permanence, reinforcing the chandelier’s role as a long-term design investment rather than a seasonal statement.
The Petra Obsidian Rectangular Chandelier embodies HDLS’s philosophy of architectural lighting: lighting that is intentional, proportioned, and enduring. It is a piece designed not to compete with the interior, but to complete it — bringing structure, balance, and presence to contemporary spaces where light is treated as an integral part of design.
