Get a Grip on Petra’s New 2025 Sculptural Hardware Collection

Hardware is often called the jewelry of the home, punctuating cabinets and doors with a subtle glint. But what if instead of jewelry, we treated it more like miniature works of art? Unveiled during NYCxDESIGN 2025, Petra’s latest sculptural hardware lineup transforms levers, knobs, and pulls into gallery-worthy statements, challenging expectations with bold silhouettes, striking textures, and forms you’ll be delighted to touch with every open and close.

For its 2025 debut at HOST on Howard, a hospitality-focused gallery and retail space from the founding partners of award-winning design firm, AvroKO, Petra returned with a fresh lineup of 14 boundary-pushing designers: Sally Breer, Elyse Graham, Alexis & Ginger, Nick Biddle, Cultivation Objects, Forever Studio, Hayesmade, Flawk, Ombia, Piscina, Heath Wagoner, Atelier Jonathan Cohen, Studio POA, and Pamela Love, with Petra’s in-house team rounding things out with a collection of simple wooden handles. Together, they offer a new lens through which to view hardware: not just as finishing touches, but as small-scale works of art that spark curiosity and delight.

Petra is the brainchild of Sight Unseen co-founder Monica Khemsurov, who launched the brand in 2024 with the goal of bringing more artistic expression to an often-overlooked corner of the design world. With her eye for the unexpected and a deep love of materiality, Khemsurov curates each collection with the same sharp sensibility that’s made Sight Unseen a trusted source, consistently ahead of the curve when it comes to what’s new and next in design.

Among the highlights: Interior designer Sally Breer makes a whimsical debut in the hardware world with cast-brass knobs shaped like juicy blueberries and a doorknob modeled after a perfectly plump peach. Elyse Graham translates her signature resin-layering technique to create hardware with a tortoise shell–like finish.

Whether you’re drawn to fruity forms, layered resin, or sculptural metalwork, this year’s lineup proves that great design doesn’t need to take up a lot of space. Petra’s latest collection makes a compelling case for rethinking the smallest elements in a room, not as afterthoughts, but as tiny canvases for creativity. With every knob, pull, and handle, the brand invites us to slow down and appreciate the beauty in the smallest objects in the room.
