An invitation to wind down with this handy portable and adjustable light

The sensual experience of enjoying a beautiful dawn inspired the Palomba Serafini Studio in the creation of the Alba collection. That moment when the day’s first light emerges, appearing over the horizon, rising steadily helps generate the outline of this portable lamp, elegant and composed, both formally and functionally, with a marked tactile sensitivity.

Alba is a lamp of two parts, two volumes that appear to fuse along the tangent of their respective geometric curves. On the one hand it features a circular base, shiny and rounded, and on the other a diffuser that gives off a tenuous and welcoming aura, supported on a solid translucent cylinder. The identity of Alba resides in an almost imperceptible transition between material and light, just like the dawn itself.

Although conceived for indoors, its cordless portability allows for occasional use in outdoor spaces, thanks to the ergonomic curvature of the base that adapts seamlessly to the palm of the hand, making it easy to carry around. Wherever we want to create a cosy atmosphere Alba provides that discreet light, silent and subtle that helps set the mood at those times during our daily routines when calm is needed, whether that be at home or in hospitality projects, when alone or encouraging conversation with others.

Its carefully designed form, which recalls a contemporary candleholder, blends seamlessly with any modern interior setting, with the added advantage of being mobile to create an appealing ambience when placed on a dining table, by a bedside, on a restaurant terrace, within a favourite reading corner or the entrance of a hotel.

Its suitability for different indoor and outdoor settings lends Alba a versatility highly sought after in contemporary projects, providing solutions for intimate and relaxing lighting atmospheres. And if that light is also portable, the collection’s usefulness increases in every way an interior designer looks for: functionality, design, practicality, lightness, durability… and, above all, its ability to create ambience.

Alba is recharged via USB-C and offers three different degrees of lighting intensity, controlled via a touch switch, almost imperceptibly integrated with the base. In this way the lighting can be adjusted to match different moods and ambiences throughout the day, without affecting the purity of its design.

Furthermore, Alba is available in three different finishes, adopting Vibia’s signature natural colour tones: terracotta, green, and beige. A refined colour palette that enhances the softness of its form and makes the instinctive gesture of wanting to touch the sensual lighting part of this nomadic lamp’s appeal.

The lighting provided by the Alba collection is suggestive rather than dominating, capable of transforming any corner into a calming setting whether it be inside or outside, a residential or hospitality project… making spaces for reading a good book, observing the stars or engaging in conversation. Alba transforms the everyday into a series of unique moments accompanied by light, filled with sensuality.
