Within this framework, Knit forms majestic textile landscapes that respond intuitively to architectural and spatial needs. Whether standing alone or layered throughout a space, the collection brings softness, elegance, and comfort to any environment.

Knit’s simple, almost elemental silhouette is serene and restrained, conveying a sense of balance and calm. A contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional lampshade, its distinctive geometry is enhanced by meticulous craftsmanship, with seamless transitions between fabric, diffuser and aluminium ring.

The collection enriches spaces with a soft, nuanced atmosphere thanks to the distinctive texture of its fabric sleeve. Each volume is covered in stretchy Lycra, knitted into three-dimensional forms. Playing with transparency and opacity, raised ribs gradually taper towards the top of the piece, with light gently filtering through the fabric between to cast a diffuse, 360-degree glow.

Knit complements natural materials such as wood, stone and linen, and pairs especially well with large sofa arrangements, soft carpets and heavy drapes. The collection offers the perfect solution for designers looking to create a cosy atmosphere in residential settings, such as living rooms or dining areas, as well as hospitality projects, such as restaurants or hotel lounge areas.

A single pendant suspended low over a sleek dining table casts a muted, intimate glow, while another brings an inviting, familiar warmth to an open plan kitchen. A pair of generous volumes enriches a comfortable commercial lounge with their sensuous form and refined illumination, while a standalone piece turns an understated corner into a cosy reading nook. Dense, tactile, and expressive, Knit transforms light into a sensory experience.

Composing with Knit means exploring the relationship between light and materiality through sculptural forms. Its curved silhouette and tactile surface introduce depth and character, interacting with light to create a subtle, layered atmosphere. Within Composing Pendants, Knit becomes a tool for designers seeking to integrate texture, warmth, and compositional coherence, creating cosy scenes that respond to the surrounding architecture. As light gently filters through the knitted fabric, spaces feel warmer and more intimate, the atmosphere softer and more subdued.

Dama is distinguished by the refinement of its proportions and the lightness of its lines. The collection is held in a dialogue between formal reduction and emotional resonance, its materiality essential to achieving this balance. The exposed aluminium structure becomes a defining feature, outlining the edge of the shade with precision.

Dama’s paper shade is both serene and tactile; a curled strip of parchment suspended from a micro-thin cable, taking on a sense of fragility through gentle vibrations. More than a diffuser, the shade acts as a luminous membrane, its translucency creating an atmosphere of warmth and softness thanks to a circular, glare-free LED that glows from within.

Dama is a timeless collection. Paying homage to the traditional lampshade, it explores emotion through light, materiality and form. Composing with Dama is an exercise in balance – a subtle blend of nostalgia and modernity, formal reduction and emotional sensitivity. Within the Composing Pendants system, the collection becomes a tool for creating delicate, poetic arrangements, its gentle presence interacting with the architecture of the space to create a warm and intimate atmosphere.

The Tube collection consists of a network of slender black tubes that can be arranged freely to channel light towards different shades. Rather than downplaying their practicality, these networks embrace function as a defining aesthetic.

Tube Free releases the pendant from its point of connection, separating the tube from the ceiling by a fine black cable. The result is a more fluid, refined expression. When composed across a space, the arrangement of multiple tubes of equal or varying heights creates a lightweight structure, a delicate language of lines and volumes.

The collection is also suited to residential projects where precision and clarity are sought. Over a dining table, a trio of asymmetrical pendants in neutral shades creates a subdued, elegant look. For a more luxurious setting, a linear arrangement of three red pendants, perfectly aligned, casts an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy.

Simple in essence yet highly versatile, Tube Free adapts to every unique use and mood. Providing clarity and balance, it responds to different contexts with a quiet elegance that is both sober and expressive. Within the Composing Pendants system, the series becomes a flexible tool for creating coherent lighting structures, where formal simplicity gives rise to free-form compositions tailored to each project.

Slim’s long, slender strands draw the eye upwards, suspended from ultra-fine cables. Particularly suited to spaces with high ceilings, each composition conveys a sense of ethereal lightness, its pressed glass diffusers emitting a soft accent light that bathes the surrounding space in an ambient glow.

Composing Pendants provides easy installation, seamless connectivity and unlimited creative freedom, allowing designers to tailor compositions to specific lighting needs. Free from technical constraints, Slim responds intuitively to its environment, functioning as an individual piece or arranged into intricate configurations. A single luminaire can flow freely through space, or several can be suspended from a single connection point, transforming light into a fluid, unified gesture.

Available in individual, circular or linear configurations, the collection is inherently adaptive. An independent piece descends like a falling star, casting a direct, pinpoint of downlight over a specific feature. Arranged in lines, the collection introduces rhythm and order, defining activity zones and structuring the space. The number and spacing of individual luminaires influences the perception of volume and spatial experience. High-density linear and circular configurations provide maximum impact while preserving a sense of visual lightness.

Ideal for public atriums, reception areas or commercial spaces, the collection becomes a sculptural focal point. Suspended above a reception, a row of tapers washes the counter in a gentle wave of light. As a chandelier, it cascades from the ceiling like a scattering of raindrops, the rhythmic interplay of its elongated silhouettes creating an ethereal choreography. Configured in rings, its airy volume lends depth and intrigue, enveloping an open-air lobby in a soft, shimmering atmosphere.

The collection adapts effortlessly to residential settings. A pair of pendants creates a peripheral pool of ambient reading light over a bedside table, while a simple row lends a sense of quiet refinement to a contemporary dining table. For large, spacious living rooms, an ensemble of multiple fixtures introduces dynamic movement and personality.

From residential properties to hospitality, restaurants or workplace environments, Plusminus offers a solution tailored to each project, regardless of its nature. With its textile tape featuring an integrated electrical conductor and interchangeable parts, it traces outlines that adapt to the geometry of each space, harmonising with the interior architecture, defining areas and connecting premises, never overlooking its essential purpose: to provide lighting solutions that are both flexible and precise.

This design by Diez Office comes in an array of muted and neutral shades selected from Vibia’s colour palette, becoming an indisputable ally for every project. Plusminus provides a comprehensive response to the lighting requirements of each space, balancing timeless aesthetics and functionality, while providing a sense of flow that connects environments, adapting to different settings and usage.

The poetic and functional component inherent in light and its ability to shape interior design is fully revealed with Plusminus. This system, as versatile as it is elegant, adds a touch of personality while allowing light to merge seamlessly into a project’s own narrative.

Following the eco-design principles that guide product development at Vibia, Plusminus also implements conscious design — conceived to evolve with architecture and keep pace with the lifespan of each project. Its flexible tape can be installed taut or slack, fitting precisely to the geometry of the space, while its dimmable luminaires, compatible with remote control devices, ensure efficient use of light. Added to this is a responsible product design, complete with repairable parts and materials selected to offer durability and optimal performance over time. A collection that not only illuminates the present, but also shines a light on the future outcome of every space.

This versatility translates into a wide variety of project-based solutions. Plusminus seamlessly integrates into a range of different residential projects, from single-storey apartments to multi-level dwellings —as seen in the present examples—. The system also proves its adaptability in the contemporary workplace, designed according to modern-day office dynamics featuring collaborative spaces, social areas, and shared workstations. Finally, its presence in hospitality projects shows how light can clearly define areas and guide circulation paths with apparent ease, while framing warm and intimate corners, in harmony with the space as a whole.

This capacity for adaptation and engagement with architecture is particularly evident in residential projects, where light enhances the spatial experience in an organic way.

For this house in Utrecht, architect Joost Woertman opted for a Plusminus configuration that unfolds with sculptural mastery, creating a dialogue with the dual-height geometry. Using a vertical pathway, the system structures the space and breaks it up into a series of microenvironments, lending warmth and a sense of continuity across the different levels.

In another residential project by A&P Interiorisme, in Sabadell, the collection takes on a more everyday, functional tone. The lighting follows the rhythm of the day’s activities and domestic uses, creating a sense of comfort and continuity between living spaces. Once again, Plusminus adapts effortlessly to the existing architecture, illustrating that the same system is capable of delivering vastly different design solutions according to context.

Plusminus is a real asset when it comes to contract environments and office projects in particular, which require flexible, interconnected interiors.

At Sauvage TV’s headquarters in Barcelona, designed by Vania Gaetti, the system plays a role in arranging shared spaces to encourage collaboration and interaction, supporting the changing dynamics of work. Lighting is thereby adjusted to suit different activities, providing brightness and comfort in each area.

Multidisciplinary design studio Il Magma opted for fluid lighting to connect two functionally distinct spaces in its Reggio Emilia office. All the lighting in each room is connected to a single electrical connection point, overcoming the added challenge of not interfering with the ceiling’s distinctive architecture. Functional lighting was chosen for the office area to ensure visual comfort at the workstations, while the adjoining multipurpose room features more decorative diffused lighting provided by hanging spheres.

The Polestar space in Vienna stems from the comprehensive approach of BWM Designers & Architects, to which Plusminus brings continuity and coherence in a mixed-use space concept. With its black-edged aesthetic, the arrangement of the straps and luminaires provides a stylish way to define the different areas, aligning with the venue’s industrial past.

Other hybrid spaces, such as this restaurant and co-working facility integrated into the Arsenal Femenino gym’s communal area in Barcelona, are also fitted with Plusminus lighting, as interpreted by Ferruz Studio in a welcoming and balanced style. Here, the raw setting is softened by cosy, enveloping lighting, chosen in a warm terracotta tone to match the furniture. As it unfurls, Plusminus creates pockets of intimacy through pendant lighting that draw attention to the tables.

Moving from the private sphere to the public environment, Plusminus offers a casual, functional and conscientious approach to lighting. Diez Office skillfully brings together a number of factors for Vibia in a balanced exercise of technical innovation, sustainability and creative freedom. A system that’s constantly reimagined with each project and is geared toward the future, integrating seamlessly into architecture and able to evolve alongside it over time.

Composing Pendants amplifies the possibilities of the collection, inviting designers to create expansive, personalised suspended compositions that respond to spatial needs and the rhythm and scale of architecture. Within this system, Tempo floats and flows, fluctuating between the ethereal and the tangible, connecting and transforming spaces in a synthesis of light and matter.

Tempo celebrates the beauty of a simple, clean aesthetic. Inspired by the concept of developing a universal language of illumination, the collection is an exercise in formal reduction, distilling three lighting archetypes down to their most basic forms.

Composing Pendants frees Tempo from the limitations of conventional lighting. Thanks to simple installation and seamless connectivity, independent luminaires can move freely through space, creating focal points wherever needed, or several fixtures can connect to the same power source. Each installation can be oriented or scaled as desired, with various configurations interacting to create an intricate landscape of light.

When composing with Tempo, the density of light becomes part of the spatial rhythm. The disc-shaped shade, paired with a simple round bulb, projects a bright, concentrated downlight. Its opacity outlines a slender form with crisp contours, the luminaire taking on a tangible, almost sculptural presence.

Crafted from translucent opal glass, the diamond-shaped diffuser projects a soft ambient glow, gently filtering light to create a subtle sensory experience. The interaction between the visible and the veiled adds depth and intrigue, revealing a dance of shadows and reflections.

Appealing to our collective memory of light, the oval diffuser reimagines the classic bistro sphere with contemporary sensibility. Distinguished by a gradient that shifts from transparent to opaque, it radiates with a shimmering 360 degree glow, its transparency conveying a sense of weightlessness and movement.

Defined by pure lines and essential volumes, Tempo’s discreet presence adapts to both residential and contract projects. A single diamond-shaped diffuser can lend an intimate, milky glow to a bedside table, while a row of four elevates a commercial bar area with a sense of delicate refinement.

The disc-shaped diffusers define workspaces and relaxation zones with graphic precision, their slender silhouettes introducing a sleek, industrial look. For suspended ceilings, remote and built-in fittings reduce visual noise, with flawless connections enhancing the purity of each composition.

Chromatic harmony can be used to reinforce the overall coherence of a composition. Tempo is available in a balanced palette of graphite, terra red, cream, green, white, and black. Ranging from sober to distinctive, these tones allow for effortless integration into different environments, from warm, natural interiors to cool, contemporary spaces.

Tempo invites designers to create suspended compositions that breathe with their surroundings, revealing the beauty of light in its purest form. Within Composing Pendants, the collection floats, adapts, and transforms spaces with natural grace and harmony. Technical rigor and poetic expression are held in perfect structural balance. More than a collection, Tempo is a contemporary exploration of light in time: three suspended gestures that capture its evolution, distilling it into a serene, unified system.

Start exploring light and timeless compositions with Tempo through the Composing Pendants system.

Composing Pendants expands North’s compositional potential. Offering seamless connectivity, it invites designers to explore the relationship between light, space and gravity without constraint, enabling intricate compositions that respond to architecture with grace, precision and balance.

North is conceived as a three-dimensional drawing of light and line. Its sleek silhouette is available in six models of varying sizes and in two structural formats. The classic pendant traces a slender line vertically down from the ceiling, balancing poetic form with functional precision. The deconstructed version creates a new and unexpected category of lighting, visually separating the shade from a slender carbon fibre rod.

Connected by ultra-fine cables, this dynamic system of adjustable elements evokes a subtle sense of movement and lightness. The arm serves as an axis by which each component can be positioned as needed: a soft slant traces an elegant, open line, while a tighter angle directs a focused pool of downlight to a specific area.

Within Composing Pendants, North breaks free of traditional electrical limitations. Thanks to its simple installation and seamless connectivity, a single luminaire can be drawn independently through space, or several pendants can be connected to the same point. North’s delicate geometry seems to float overhead, adapting to different heights and scales.

For suspended ceilings, remote and recessed connections provide a smooth, clean look, reducing visual noise and enhancing the purity of the composition. Light and dynamic, the collection responds to the flow of a space. Like lines drawn in the air, its subtle presence defines without imposing—delimiting spaces, connecting scenes, and giving rhythm to the architecture.

A large pair of symmetrical luminaires casts bright, energising light over a workspace; a harmony of pendants of varying sizes delivers softly focused light over a relaxation zone; and a set of classic pendants lends a quiet distinction, elevating a residential kitchen or bar area without overwhelming the space. Wherever it is applied, the collection remains refined, composed and distinctly contemporary.

Composing with North is like drawing with light. Its suspended lines trace a visual architecture that defines, structures and balances space. Within Composing Pendants, the collection delivers flexible, precise, and expressive illumination. A poetic exploration of lightness, it unites emotional resonance with advanced functionality, transforming atmospheres in a single, ethereal gesture.

The 18th Century palazzo which has been converted into a four-star boutique hotel is located at the historic heart of the Italian city of Palermo, both the architectural and the interior design were managed by Arch. Parisi. This hospitality project is a carefully curated example of how to reinterpret the historical legacy of a building adapting it to the needs of the modern-day traveller while equally conserving the value of its noble lineage.

After negotiating the vibrant city streets arriving at Via Maqueda and crossing the threshold of Palazzo Balsamo Boutique Hotel visitors are invited to relax and surrender themselves to the calming ambience of the hotel where the lighting is designed as an inviting immersive experience perfectly integrated within the various spaces, starting with the entrance.

Just past the threshold guests are presented with a vivid atmosphere that reflects the surrounding cityscape, raw tones, pastel and oak timber colour shades, fill the interiors with a sensual presence, with its arches, vaults and custom furniture. The light fittings create a pleasant and seamless transition from the noisy streets outside to the more intimate and human scale of the hotel interior.

Curved forms are one of the defining elements of the project, beginning with the entrance doors. The Knit light fittings beyond are suspended above the side tables and the large hall mirror, introducing a luminous presence that projects a warm, inviting sensation. Designed by Meike Harde, each lamp features a textile volume that filters light through 360 degrees, reinforcing the spatial continuity with the furniture design and tactile surfaces of the surroundings.

The playful blending of dimensions together with the markedly ribbed textures create a panorama of attractive floating luminous volumes thanks to the warm immersive and even lighting projected by Knit. In addition, the combination of fittings reflects the characteristic curves of the space without overwhelming it. While the elasticated Lycra textile references the tactile design of the hotel reception desk, creating a continuity through the use of the same material.

Another of the hotel spaces where the lighting enhances the guest experience is the breakfast room. Here, the Array collection designed by Umut Yamac is presented as a series of suspended sculptures placed over the tables and chairs, featuring the same curvilinear silhouette designs. The fine tensile threads stretched between the metallic rings reflect a downward and upward illumination that wraps around the space to create a subtle yet spectacular lighting effect. The dynamic perception of the oversized volumes gives off a balanced light that eases the guests into the day ahead while enjoying their breakfast.

The interior design project for Palazzo Balsamo Boutique Hotel is a refined combination of craftsmanship and design, from the selection of the materials to the shapes of the various elements with careful attention paid to the lighting which helps reinforce the warm feeling of the interior spaces. The project illustrates how lighting can be the common thread that connects past and present, lighting the historical architecture with the contemporary design language of the Knit collection, providing a warm welcome and tactile texture, while the Array collection in the breakfast room introduces a rhythm and lighting gradation that compliments the start of the day.

Originally founded in 1989 in Oslo by the Norwegian Kjetil Trædal Thorsen and the German American Craig Dykers, as a small workshop where architecture, landscape and interior design projects were jointly undertaken, Snøhetta over time has become one of the most influential international practices with satellite teams spread throughout the world. Nevertheless, despite this expansion, its way of approaching each project continues to draw from the same simple idea: understanding first and foremost how a place is inhabited and then deciding on how it should be constructed.

This same approach is perfectly evident at the centre of operations in Hong Kong. The workspace is not organised as if it were a collection of departments or closed-off offices, instead it’s more like a continuous space where different activities co-exist. In fact, the colour scheme, dominated by earthy tones, beige and more intense accent colours, helps define the various areas. And under this general approach the lighting, of course, takes on a crucial role. The design of the lighting scheme, jointly undertaken together with the Vibia Lighting & Wellbeing Studio, approaches light from real-world applications in spaces. In other words, rather than adding light fittings on an individual basis the idea is to create a sequence that can address the different phases and requirements that a creative studio like this goes through as the day advances.

Much of the team’s daily activity revolves around the large collaborative worktable, which acts as the space’s true centre of gravity. Above it sits the Plusminus collection, designed by the Diez Office, whose conductive textile belt allows for the free and precise placement of light sources, adapting them to the scale of this shared space. For this specific configuration, the cone-shaped fittings project light directly onto the work surface aiding the team in reading plans, working on monitors, and with the exchange of ideas while reviewing 3D models, sharing ideas, or tweaking certain details before moving forward with a project.

The Terra Red finish introduces a colourful touch that creates a dialogue with the interior colour palette without affecting its harmony, so that the lighting not only organises the worktop activities but also helps reinforce the visual identity of the overall space. During the day, the abundant external daylight dominates the studio; when evening falls, as the workday continues, the lighting adds the necessary definition to keep everything working as normal with the same exactitude.

For the more internal areas of the offices Plusminus is once again featured but, in this case, it takes on a distinctive character from its use over the shared worktable. For this spherical version in a beige colour finish, the light is more immersive, creating an ambience for reading, revising or more concentrated work, while in other areas the linear diffuser increases the levels of brightness over the work desks providing a suitable task lighting for longer periods of concentration.

For one of these configurations the textile belt even embraces one of the columns, uniting light and architecture together in a single stroke.

Meanwhile for the areas where more solitary concentration is specified Africa comes into play, conceived by designer Franscisco Gomez Paz, a portable element whose lightweight aspect confers a light more suited to focused attention. Within the open plan area where different things are happening simultaneously its scale allows for a more personal work area to be defined without the desk becoming isolated from the rest of the team, favouring those spontaneous encounters when someone stops to look over a drawing, or works on in silence developing an idea.

And finally, in the always busy meeting room, the Bind collection, designed by Martín Azúa, is integrated into the ceiling via a recessed system in a beige finish that complements the timber finishes featured here. Its presence provides the necessary clarity for conversations, presentations, or decisions that shape the course of each project. Without overwhelming the space, Bind fosters a serene atmosphere in which design ideas can be discussed calmly.

Each light fitting is specifically responding to a different time of day within the studio’s daily routine. While the Plusminus collection marks the continuity and rhythm of collaborative working, the Africa collection introduces a more individual focus, while the Bind collection adds balance to meeting spaces. All together however they add something much more important: they compliment the phases of the workday, setting up a dialogue with the surrounding natural light and colour scheme to create a carefully curated cohesive and adaptable working environment where architects’ imagination takes shape.

Designed by Palomba Serafini Associati, Alba is inspired by the first glow of dawn: that fleeting moment when the first tenuous light is perceived below the horizon.

The lamp is composed of two separate volumes that appear to be fused together tangentially along their respective curves: a circular base, shiny and rounded supporting the diffuser, cylindrical, translucent and solid, radiating a warm tenuous glow. This transition, almost indistinguishable between material and light defines Alba: a lamp that is perceived as a seamless gesture, a visual caress between touching surfaces.

The diffuser radiates a warm and ethereal lighting, that demands to be picked up. Its ergonomically curved base fits snugly in the palm of the hand, making it easy to move from place to place. Furthermore, the base is available in three finishes, terracotta, beige and green with a subtle elegant sheen. Alba is designed for everyday use, moving around with us to illuminate everything from intimate get-togethers around the table to cosy seating areas, helping to define calm and relaxation within any space, inside or out.

Although designed for indoor use, its portable and cordless character allows for occasional outdoor use, like a delicate, nomadic light that evokes the warmth of a contemporary candle holder. Its cordless autonomy, USB-C recharging, and lightweight design make it a practical and versatile element, ideal for both homes and hospitality spaces.

Available in a refined palette of colours, Alba adopts the natural tones characteristic of the Vibia brand, in terracotta, beige and green. Each finish highlights its smooth silhouette and tactile character, adding distinct nuances to the lamp as a decorative object.

The touch-control switch is discreetly integrated with the base, allowing a choice of three lighting intensity settings, adapting to any ambience or state of wellbeing instantly. The technology doesn’t distract from the visual purity but instead complements the design.

With Alba, Vibia reinforces its vision of light as a companion element: a piece that moves around with us and transforms the everyday into an experience of calm, warmth and quintessential beauty.

Based on this archetype the collection is constructed around the layering of materials. A completely transparent internal quartz glass cylinder contains the light source, while the lacquered glass diffuser filters and transforms it into ambience. The light appears to come from its interior, expanding outwards organically towards its surroundings, generating a dual lighting effect that combines diffused and directional lighting precisely.

Glass defines Asia’s aesthetic. Its translucent surface attenuates the light and creates a warm, tranquil glow, while the metal structure provides a discreet frame that accentuates the contrast between materiality and lightness. This combination allows the light fitting to interact with the space without overwhelming it, easily integrating with any setting.

Available in pendant, table and floor versions, Asia can adapt its aura to different environments, from hanging configurations that complement the surrounding architecture to more proximate points of light that favour intimate and precise lighting. The collection maintains its essence in all versions: a nuanced, balanced and even illumination.

Asia achieves an equilibrium between traditional and contemporary, between its integral essence and technical precision. A collection conceived to complement architecture with a light that not only illuminates but subtlety defines an atmosphere.
