Duo Petra: Soothing, enveloping sensibility

At Vibia, we consider atmosphere to be an emotional experience, with materiality and texture playing a crucial role in how we perceive a space. Combined with colour and light, textures guide the visual focus and enhance a space’s dynamics. Rough or soft materials create intimacy and comfort, while smooth, hard surfaces lend a sense of refinement and clarity.

Designed by Ramos & Bassols, Duo petra is ideal for a spacious interior with a sober and minimalist aesthetic. Articulated in broad semi-spherical silhouettes, its supple slate-lined interior, available in all Duo models, offers an intriguing material contrast to the warmth of the oak-finished original. Natural light reflects evenly off its exterior while diffuse light seeps outwards from the darker interior, bathing the surrounding space in an alluring glow.

Similar to the textured lines that characterise the oak, Duo petra’s slate veneer is enriched by delicate veins that give each piece a unique quality. The natural stone, called “pizarra” in Spanish, comes in sheets or “láminas” which are moulded into the desired shape in a process called wood bending. It is the first time that stone has been used for such a complex and innovative process.

Duo petra is particularly apt for lower-ceilings where a pendant fitting is not suitable. Each fitting provides comfortable general diffused illumination with the option of precise temperature regulation – or “tunable white” – guaranteeing the perfect atmosphere for every moment or use. Available in three versatile finishes, the collection seamlessly integrates into any space.

A lighting solution that is both visually striking and functionally versatile, Duo petra elevates the concept of atmosphere design through thoughtful materiality and exquisite technological craftsmanship. Timeless and refined, it enriches any space with its soothing, enveloping sensibility.
