Designed by Sebastian Herkner, Vibia’s new Kontur collection is defined by its sleek black metal frame. An elegant stage setting for the exploration of linear light, the frame is imbedded with LEDs and pairs with different diffusers and reflectors to create a range of lighting atmospheres.
The frame houses either a handblown opaline glass diffuser or a rounded metal reflector, the pure volumes producing a delicate balance within the graphic geometric architecture. With the cylindrical glass diffuser, Kontur generates a warm, 360-degree glow as if from a fire. When combined with the reflector’s curved metal sheet, it lends the ambient look of raining light.
Kontur is available in a range of LED color temperatures from 2200 to 4000 Kelvin for warm, candlelit looks or brighter, daytime effects. It’s offered in five sizes in wall or pendant styles. The former is a large-scale sconce affixed to the wall, while the latter appears to float overhead from nearly invisible cables, its elemental forms co-mingling in space.

A study in contrasts, Ghost embodies both spirit and materiality, invisibility and presence. Designed by Arik Levy, the collection balances time-honored craftsmanship techniques and cutting-edge technology to create a distinctive ethereal presence that nods to its namesake.
Available in pendant and table lamp, Ghost is made of premium triplex opal glass that is meticulously mouthblown to radiate a warm, welcoming sensibility.
Ghost’s handcrafted quality is complemented by Vibia’s innovative technology. The pendant includes a sleek black heat sink affixed to the top that dissipates the heat emitted by the high-power LED.
Nearly invisible suspension cables attached to it seamlessly conduct electricity and lend the luminaire the look of floating mid-air like a ghostly spirit.
The table lamp is also fit with heat sinks mounted on an aluminum plate in the midsection of the stacked silhouette. This streamlined feature stabilizes the top and bottom pieces and ensures even heat dissipation over the entire surface, while doubling as a hand-touch dimmer.

Designed by Martín Azúa, the Dots collection is defined by distinctive, glowing cylinders that trace individual points of light across the wall like an illuminated universe. Connecting a space with its intimate landscape of beams and halos, the diminutive circles create a melody of light that evokes a composition of musical notes.
The unique lighting system offers personalised functionality in four different formats. Each version features a unique cone cutout that generates myriad lighting effects, ranging from a spotlight to a halo. Deployed alone or in a group like a glowing galaxy, its fresh, playful feel allows endless exploration and experimentation in one lighting collection.
The Dots reading light provides a focused beam ideal for relaxing with a book or putting an accent on an element in the space. It features an adjustable, 360-degree turn functionality and offers the choice of an on/off switch on the back plate.
The directional lamp also has an adjustable, 360-degree turn mechanism. This sconce produces graphic lighting effects via a cone-shaped beam that washes the wall in artful, geometric compositions.
In addition, the Dots collection includes two indirect lights. The perimeter version resembles a glowing halo that bathes the background in a soft circle of light. These lamps have an abstract look that lends itself to unexpected spots in an interior, especially when used in combination.
