Introducing Alba: a subtle halo effect lighting to keep at hand for warm and calming atmospheres

Designed by Palomba Serafini Associati, Alba is inspired by the first glow of dawn: that fleeting moment when the first tenuous light is perceived below the horizon.

The lamp is composed of two separate volumes that appear to be fused together tangentially along their respective curves: a circular base, shiny and rounded supporting the diffuser, cylindrical, translucent and solid, radiating a warm tenuous glow. This transition, almost indistinguishable between material and light defines Alba: a lamp that is perceived as a seamless gesture, a visual caress between touching surfaces.

The diffuser radiates a warm and ethereal lighting, that demands to be picked up. Its ergonomically curved base fits snugly in the palm of the hand, making it easy to move from place to place. Furthermore, the base is available in three finishes, terracotta, beige and green with a subtle elegant sheen. Alba is designed for everyday use, moving around with us to illuminate everything from intimate get-togethers around the table to cosy seating areas, helping to define calm and relaxation within any space, inside or out.

Although designed for indoor use, its portable and cordless character allows for occasional outdoor use, like a delicate, nomadic light that evokes the warmth of a contemporary candle holder. Its cordless autonomy, USB-C recharging, and lightweight design make it a practical and versatile element, ideal for both homes and hospitality spaces.

Available in a refined palette of colours, Alba adopts the natural tones characteristic of the Vibia brand, in terracotta, beige and green. Each finish highlights its smooth silhouette and tactile character, adding distinct nuances to the lamp as a decorative object.

The touch-control switch is discreetly integrated with the base, allowing a choice of three lighting intensity settings, adapting to any ambience or state of wellbeing instantly. The technology doesn’t distract from the visual purity but instead complements the design.

With Alba, Vibia reinforces its vision of light as a companion element: a piece that moves around with us and transforms the everyday into an experience of calm, warmth and quintessential beauty.
