Once relegated to functional cooking, a kitchen is now commonly used a congenial gathering place for family and friends. That means the lighting there must be as practical as it is pretty. Read on for a look at kitchens that deftly deploy Vibia lamps to creative effect.
In a home in northern Spain, a kitchen design by Santos includes double Skan lamps above the dining table. The minimalist Lievore, Altherr, Molina pendants are marked by a streamlined, saucer-like profile and an elegant interplay of lean lines and gentle curves.
The residence, a combination of classic and contemporary touches, features thick stone walls and wooden beams, which Skan’s sleek metal form beautifully balances. The fixtures cast a broad downlight that defines the dining space, while their matte black finish picks up the palette of the adjacent kitchen island and sideboard.

Flamingo’s cascading form lends a sculptural flourish to an otherwise restrained aesthetic, drawing the eye to the eating area. Its pale palette enhances the room’s soothing colour scheme, a symphony of white and neutral shades.

The dining table, extending from the kitchen island, is illuminated by the pendant, its lean profile and black finish echoing the stools below. A dynamic system of adjustable parts, the base, stem and shade are disconnected from one another, casting a focused pool of LED light downwards.

Rounding out the room lighting is Vibia’s Mayfair floor lamp by Diego Fortunato, a modern reimagining of the French bouillotte lamp with a graphic presence.
