Vibia lighting brings warmth and wellbeing to a private Mediterranean villa

A jewel in the heart of the Costa Brava, House in S’Agaró is deeply rooted in the Mediterranean architectural tradition. Designed by Cristina Soler from Barcelona-based studio, Arquemo, gentle forms of different dimensions playfully adapt to the local climate and surrounding environment.

Our perception of House in S’Agaró evolves as the quality of light shifts throughout the day. It can feel vibrant, calm, or even intimate, as sunlight dances across its many surfaces and deepens the contrasting shadows. Rich wooden details bring warmth to a predominant white and the abundance of natural light enhances the expressive capacity of the interior spaces, complimented by an extensive variety of Vibia lamps. Switched on or off, the presence of these lamps -their composition, colour and texture- creates an atmospheric experience, evoking a myriad of different moods and sensations.

As we step inside, we are greeted by the undisputed protagonist of House in S’Agaró: a Wireflow Chandelier presides over the double height of the central core of the house, visually dominating the entrance hall and stimulating an immediate sense of wonder.

The work of designer Arik Levy, the Wireflow is a hanging lamp with an astonishing three dimensional form. A fearless and futuristic presence, it reinterprets the traditional chandelier, exploring its essence and enhancing its silhouette through an exercise in graphic simplification.

Contrasting with the imposing nature of the Wireflow, a dimmable Mayfair table lamp with a metallic finish neatly illuminates the entrance hall sideboard with a subtle glow. Diego Fortunato’s Mayfair updates the classic 19th Century lamp with innovative technology and an understated elegance.

For the open plan living room and kitchen area, Soler opts for a mounted North wall lamp and two matching smaller-scale North pendants. Designed by Arik Levy, the pendants are composed of traditional shades of lacquered matt suspended from slim rods, adding warmth and sophistication to the bar area.

The base of the wall lamp is fixed while its light source is suspended in space by a rod that reaches out into the living room. Flexible and versatile in height and rotation, it functions as both an ambient lamp and a reading light, offering a unique lighting effect with plenty of character.

Designed by Lievore, Altherr and Molina, Skan is minimalism in its purest state. Combining purity of form and clean lines, it is a return to the essential, a redefinition of a classic design with superior lighting performance.

For the House in S’Agaró, Soler chooses a set of three terra-red luminaires which extend delicately from the ceiling, illuminating the length of the dining table with a broad downlight that brings a sense of wellbeing and community to this familial space.

For the courtesy bathroom, Soler wanted to incorporate a pendant that could be framed by the stylised window and visible from the outside. The Palma hanging lamp was conceived by designer Antoni Arola as if it were a landscape project that could transform an interior setting over time. It is composed of a globe that appears to float independently, suspended by three almost imperceptible cables that support a plant beneath. Like a luminous hanging garden, its capacity to create ambience evolves with the growth of the plant, making it ideal for establishing the desired exterior-interior dialogue.

And finally, bringing a touch of elegance to an otherwise understated hallway, Soler opts for two Duo ceiling lamps designed by Ramos & Bassols. A lamp of contrasts, the Duo combines a warm wooden interior with a refined metal wrap, naturally integrating into the overall aesthetic of House in S’Agaró.
