Inside Hudson Valley Lighting Group: Materials, Brands & What Designers Should Specify Next

Inside Hudson Valley Lighting Group: Materials, Brands & What Designers Should Specify Next

Lighting is the exclamation point at the end of a well-composed room. During our latest Concierge Hour, Hudson Valley Lighting Group (HVLG) gave us a peek behind the curtain, and it’s a master class in matching brand DNA to project needs.

Know your five Hudson Valley Lighting Group brands:

• Corbett is the drama kid who grew up chic - think sculptural forms, solid brass, glass, alabaster, and onyx, sized to make a moment and spec-friendly to install.

• Hudson Valley Lighting is the tailored flagship: heritage-inflected pieces that flex traditional, transitional, and modern. The workhorse you’ll specify across entire homes.

• Troy leans modern and tactile - linens, glass, paper - perfect when your concept board says “earthy, edited, livable.”

• Mitzi brings the vibrant, friendly price point. It pairs beautifully with HVL in secondary spaces (kids’ rooms, laundry, back-of-house) where you want fresh without the fuss.

• CSL (Creative Systems Lighting) is your architectural backbone: no-glare recessed and cylinder downlights with serious lumen performance. Flag the Luxe collection if you’re tired of stock white cans - patina brass and distressed bronze play incredibly well with decorative layers.

Material intel designers actually use:
Rattan vs. wicker? Use the terms interchangeably in client-speak, but remember: rattan is the material, wicker is the weave. HVLG’s natural palettes also include cocoa shell (organically curved, cut from the coconut exterior) and wood beads (puka necklace vibes, multiple sizes). These finishes read handcrafted on site and photograph beautifully.

Why the product pipeline matters:
HVLG designs in-house, engineers with intent, and even owns a factory in the Philippines- translation: tighter control over pricing, availability, and quality. Add designer collabs (Mark D. Sykes, Noz Nozawa, and Zoe Feldman, among others), and you get collections that feel current without dating your project in two years.

See it IRL:
Head to High Point Market at Market Square M90 (Oct 25–29) to tour the new showroom - part of HVLG’s 40th anniversary celebration - and preview fresh designer partnerships. Permanent showrooms in Dallas and Las Vegas make follow-up sourcing easy.

Pro tip from our Concierge team:
When you’re mixing decorative with architectural, start with CSL’s beam spread and color temperature to nail function, then layer Corbett/HVL/Troy/Mitzi for mood. Need a board your client can check out from directly? We’ll build it with your preferred margins, add custom service fees where needed, and keep the shipping math transparent.
