In an evolving exploration of ornamentation, material, and form, the new Petra Lighting Collection introduces the Petra Globe to the Roman and Williams Guild Original Designs lighting collection in one profound material: alabaster.
Designed by Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, this new pendant combines familiar vocabularies: the RWGOD foundational Globe Collection’s glass Globe shade, now reimagined in smooth, hand-carved alabaster, a material that has recently captivated the designers (see the undulating shades of the Rotonde Sconce and Dahlia Table Lamp). Carved by master craftspeople in Spain from solid alabaster and secured to a brass stem hand-spun in France, the Petra Globe’s spherical surface emits a glow that illuminates any atmosphere.
