Founded in 1987, the Barcelona-based brand Vibia Lighting has established itself over the years as a leading force in the international design scene. Much of this success can be attributed to the efforts of its dedicated designers such as Stefan Diez (Diez Office), Sebastian Herkner, Arik Levy, Lievore Altherr Molina and the Note Design Studio. But what sets Vibia apart is the vision of its CEO and owner, Pere Llonch, who, together with his team, has paved the way with a distinctly ambitious energy that has fueled their groundbreaking efforts in creating innovative design concepts and their consistent exploration and use of LED technology in new and creative ways, freeing it from the outdated concepts of lampshades and other utilitarian constraints. Light becomes a functional phenomenon in itself, with the light source receding into the background, allowing the luminaire body or diffuser to come to the fore, transforming it into a compelling sculpture - as seen in designs such as Guise, a weightless glass light cylinder by Diez Office, or Toan Nguyen's Algorithm for it's Pendant Lighting System, to name just two.
