Evolving Tradition: Designs to transform archetypes into lighting experiences

Inspired by classic design archetypes, the collections from this selection pay homage to tradition from a contemporary viewpoint. Thanks to a collaborative process with high profile designers Vibia reinterprets iconic forms with a contemporary sensibility, transforming familiar objects into poetic and sophisticated lighting experiences.

Evolving Tradition places a value on the potential of lighting to transform classic designs with timeless objects, exploring new materialities and technologies through an enduring language.

This collection connects with traditional charm to evoke delicate and intimate sensations, capable of travelling through time offering a warm and elegant lighting, perfect for adapting to any style or type of setting.

The designers, Studio Palomba Serafini have carefully curated the ethereal quality of this pendant lamp, with the same attention to detail in the design of the slender look of the table version or floor version illustrating how its classical silhouette and contemporary design generate strong feelings.

Nothing is more classical in design than straight and circular lines. However, Vibia brings them into the modern age with the Halo Jewel collection in collaboration with Martín Azúa, projecting a delicate, airy light that appears to float in the atmosphere suggesting a precious element.

This collection by Diego Fortunato is a clear example of reinterpreting the past. Whether it be the floor or table lamp version, Mayfair is a celebration of visual wellbeing which a piece like this can convey, equally suited to the living room, bedroom, or a hallway.

The effect is just as evocative for the Mini version: either portable or fitted, highly versatile with an intimate presence that illuminates with discreet sophistication.

The perfect circle. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Ramos & Bassols reimagine the classic ceiling rose for Vibia that has illuminated rooms so elegantly for generations. Featuring simple lines, Top manages to emit a highly functional general direct lighting of subtle beauty, thanks to its glass diffuser.

The stripped back light is also available for walls, like an abstract piece of art. The small central sphere reflects the light towards the larger ring generating a halo effect with relaxing properties that seem to look the observer straight in the eye.

With its rigorous silhouette, the Lily suspension lamp combines a timeless ambient presence with the most advanced LED technology, highlighting its elegantly simple silhouette. Conceived by Studio Palomba Serafini for illuminating a room from the ceiling, like a luminous hug from above.

The floor and table versions of Lily betray the same sensibility, with the added bonus of its slender stem that accentuates the delicate curves of the glass diffuser. Contemplating this lamp evokes equal parts feelings of warmth and practicality.

There’s no other piece more traditionally rooted within interior design than the pendant chandelier which Arik Levy reimagines for Vibia through Wireflow Chandelier. A design exercise that celebrates the essential without sacrificing its character.

The various configurations transform the classic hanging feature light with a contemporary flourish that is pure visual joy in a three-dimensional composition.

The classic sphere, enshrined in our collective memory has special connotations, Antoni Arola has reimagined it with a slightly flattened version, paired with an almost invisible system of support cables that reinforces the floating sensation.

The suspension model resembles a luminous hanging garden capable of complementing any setting through the ages. As a wall light, Palma can be configured in vertical and horizontal compositions, which can support vegetation as an added option, which combined with light, creates an exceptional living pairing.

There are designs that are simply timeless. It’s about respecting their essence, experimenting with materials, refining shapes, and carefully crafting lighting so that each of these new pieces can pay homage to the past and, at the same time, point to the future, becoming timeless collections that illuminate a mix of nostalgia and modernity.
