This spring, Vibia unveiled a new showroom, factory, and headquarters in Gav\u00e0, Barcelona. Intended to serve as much as the brand\u2019s office as a gathering spot for visitors and designers, the expansive space regularly plays host to a range of guests. Among some recent visitors were a group of master\u2019s students enrolled in the Architectonic Lighting Design programme at UPC<\/a>, the Barcelona School of Professional & Executive development: BarcelonaTech. Together with their programme director, the renowned lighting designer Maria Guell<\/a>, the students toured the headquarters and shared their impressions and favourite lighting designs.<\/h2>\n
