As if they were small residential buildings, with their flat, sloping, and gabled roofs, Francesc Rifé Studio's new stand design for Vibia displays an intimate narrative emotionally linked to the novelties of the firm.
The circuit through these natural poplar wood architectures is explored from two entrances: one dedicated to the new Array collection by Umut Yamat and the second to the Plusminus by Stefan Diez. Between both, the perimeter arrangement of the collection allows a circular route around a large central volume.
Not only does this hub serve as an exhibition area for Antoni Arola's Circus lighting system, but functions as a working area for the company's team or as a hosting area to throw presentations and events. While its interior stands out for the use of horizontal slats, in contrast to the verticality of the slats of the stand, the green color covers the exterior of the core to symbolically serve as vegetation for the outdoor luminaires Class by Sebastian Herkner and Dots by Martín Azúa.
The interconnection of the spaces through circular openings extends throughout the entire stand ranging in size to create a greater or smaller sense of mystery in addition to framing the collections. Also, different living areas, which recreate the warmth of the home, are distributed on the floor where one can take a seat to contemplate the magic of light.
