HIGH POINT – At April’s High Point Market, Varaluz will debut a collaboration with Texas designer Kristi Hopper, called Petal Reign. In addition, the lighting company is entering a new chapter with the launch of Varaluz x Ciana, a partnership that honors the brand’s origins while strengthening its future.
The Petal Reign collection, which includes a chandelier, linear pendant and sconce crafted from recycled materials, merges botanical elegance with sculptural form.
“Petal Reign wears its crown lightly — but never quietly,” said Hopper. “We wanted to celebrate the beauty of repetition and botanical forms while honoring materials that are responsibly sourced and thoughtfully made. Strength doesn’t have to shout — it can be elegant, sustainable and powerful all at once.” Varaluz exhibits in Market Square, space 290, at High Point Market.
Through its new alignment with Ciana Lighting, Varaluz is positioned to elevate product quality, operational excellence and sustainability without compromising the creative soul that the company said has guided Varaluz from the very beginning.
Founded in 2006, Varaluz has long redefined what decorative lighting can be: handcrafted and emotionally resonant. Ciana Lighting purchased Varaluz last June.
“Varaluz has always been a standout name in the lighting world; bold, unconventional, and beautifully expressive,” said Ron Henderson, co-founder and director of Varaluz’s product development. “This partnership is rooted in respect for what Varaluz represents. Our role is to protect its artistic energy while providing the strength, discipline, and resources needed for the brand to thrive long-term.”
Ciana Lighting has more than 60 years of collective expertise through long-standing partner relationships across religious, hospitality, residential and commercial markets.
“The company has built its identity around creating lighting that evokes dignity, hospitality and meaning,” said Kevin Bauer, Owner and CEO of Ciana Lighting. “Varaluz’s artistic spirit is a natural complement to our own design ethos. Together, we’re focused on doing things the right way; strengthening quality, consistency and sustainability while keeping creativity at the center.”
Varaluz will continue to operate under its own brand and creative leadership, supported by Ciana Lighting’s expanded manufacturing, custom lighting capabilities and logistical resources, Henderson said.
