Array illuminates Darc awards

The darc awards recognised Array under the Decorative Kit category during a ceremony held at fabric London last March 27th for the 2023 edition. The collection designed by Umut Yamac together with Vibia was selected by fellow lighting professionals in a peer-to-peer voting system. Darc, the Decorative Lighting in Architecture magazine received more than 370 entry submissions and 11,000 votes were cast.

Vibia The Edit - Array. Enveloping light

Array plays on sensations of volume and light. A technical thread is stretched between metal rings held apart in space that capture the light washed from below. The LED source is hidden within the lower ring and throws a suggestive illumination upwards.

There are three different size models, the tallest of which measures 78 inches in height and 49 inches in diameter. The threads come in earthy red, calming green and neutral beige wound around a matte aluminum structure.

The combination of conical and tubular forms lends the collection a distinctive sculptural quality. The rhythm of the ethereal luminous threads creates a ghostly presence suspended mid-air.
