Petra

Petra — Contemporary Architectural Lighting in Glass and Metal

Petra is inspired by architecture shaped by time — places where light is not decoration, but structure. Named after the ancient city carved from stone, the collection draws on the idea of permanence, geometry, and proportion, translating these principles into contemporary architectural lighting. Petra is designed to anchor a space visually and spatially, offering clarity and presence without excess.

At the heart of the collection is a disciplined vertical composition. Rather than relying on ornament, Petra explores repetition, rhythm, and balance — allowing light to fall in a measured, architectural manner. The result is a luminous structure that reads as part of the architecture itself, not an applied feature. This approach makes Petra particularly suited to contemporary interiors, new builds, and design-led projects where lighting must perform both functionally and spatially.

The collection is crafted using architectural glass elements, selected for clarity and consistency. When illuminated, the glass captures and refracts light with controlled brilliance, creating a striking visual effect that remains refined rather than decorative. The emphasis is not on sparkle, but on the way light interacts with form — producing depth, movement, and visual weight within the space.

Supporting the glass composition is a precision-engineered metal structure, available in brass, gold, matte black, and matte silver finishes. Each finish has been chosen to complement modern architectural palettes, allowing Petra to integrate seamlessly into interiors defined by stone, concrete, timber, glass, and metal. The metal framework provides both contrast and warmth, grounding the luminous glass elements and reinforcing the collection’s architectural intent.

This approach reflects the principles outlined in the HDLS Philosophy, where lighting is conceived as a permanent architectural element rather than a decorative afterthought.

Petra is offered in three coordinated designs — rectangular chandeliers, square chandeliers, and wall sconces — enabling designers to create cohesive lighting schemes across open-plan spaces, vertical transitions, and feature walls. Whether suspended above dining tables, positioned within entrance halls, or used to articulate architectural planes, each piece is designed to contribute to a unified visual language.

Craftsmanship within the Petra collection is guided by restraint and precision. Every element is proportioned to maintain balance between light output, scale, and visual presence. The result is lighting that feels intentional and enduring — designed not for trends, but for long-term architectural relevance.

For architects and interior designers seeking cohesive lighting solutions, Petra can be configured as part of a wider specification process through Specify with HDLS.

Petra represents HDLS’s approach to contemporary luxury lighting: honest materials, architectural clarity, and a commitment to creating pieces that define space through light, structure, and permanence rather than excess.
