Africa

from Vibia

Designed by Francisco Gomez Paz, Vibia’s new Africa collection combines cultural significance, richness of form and materiality, and high-performance lighting capabilities. Defined by a slender, conical stem that leads to a neat head, the luminaire invites you to reach out and grasp it. First and foremost, an object of desire, this portable lamp stands out for its finesse in aesthetics, creating an unmistakable connection with ancient art that explores beauty, functionality, and the essence of humanity. The anthropological quality of its silhouette creates a striking statement in any kind of space, from public libraries or hotel entrances to residential projects. When multiple luminaires are grouped together, the design comes to life with new compositional value, one figure becoming a pair, a family, a community. Available in two sizes, portable or bolt-down installation. Its lacquered matte texture and four natural tones bring warmth and tangibility to this fixture’s design – the perfect companion for detailed task work thanks to high–flow lighting. Shaped from a single unit of pure aluminum, this mono materiality lends Africa a certain weight and technical quality associated with high-end industrial processes. The density of its shaft and head is balanced by a counterweight at the base, providing stability while granting the elegance of an elongated neck.
