Home / The Edit Lighting Solutions Sculpting Light: Introducing Africa 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 artistic practices. Poetic and sleek, Africa 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. “Africa was born as a response to the latest ways of inhabiting, in which the hybridisation of residential and professional spaces is increasingly nomadic, free, and casual” Francisco Gomez PazAfrica promises to accommodate a wide range of activities and uses: accent a forgotten corner, cast a soft glow during a romantic meal, or enhance wellbeing in a meeting area. Optimal for task lighting, this luminaire helps create a comfortable ambiance in a workspace, where productivity is essential. Available in two sizes, 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 a high-flow lighting. Shaped from a single unit of pure aluminium, 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. Controlled by a simple push button at the head, its changeable LED light source provides three levels of intensity, seamlessly adapting to the user’s desire. To recharge the luminaire, the shaft slides seamlessly into a magnetised aluminium base, a flawless continuation of its sculptural expression.
