Vibia is a lighting manufacturer that develops architectural lighting solutions for residential, hospitality, workplace, and public environments. The company presents Closer, a collection of indoor and outdoor luminaires designed by Ichiro Iwasaki that combines lightweight textile shades with integrated LED lighting. Available as pendant, floor, and table versions, the collection creates soft, diffused illumination while establishing a visual continuity between interior and exterior spaces.
Closer is based on the idea of allowing the textile shade to define the presence of the luminaire. The LED light source is discreetly integrated into the upper portion of the shade so that the semi-transparent woven textile volume appears softly illuminated from within. Available in three shade formats with varying proportions, the collection offers a family of complementary forms that can be specified individually or combined to create layered lighting compositions. A refined perimeter trim outlines each shade while maintaining visual consistency across the range.
Configurations
The collection comprises pendant, floor, and table luminaires. Pendant versions can be suspended from a cable or mounted on a rigid metal stem, allowing installations at different heights and supporting a variety of architectural lighting compositions. The floor and table luminaires are cordless and portable, powered by rechargeable batteries with induction charging bases that enable flexible placement across interior and exterior environments.
Materials & Finishes
Closer features an aluminum body, a woven polyester textile shade, and a PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) diffuser. The collection is available in Beige D1 (NCS S 4005-Y50R), Terra Red (NCS S 4040-Y70R), and Green D1 (NCS S 7010-G30Y).
Lighting Performance
The collection incorporates integrated LED lighting with a 2700 K color temperature. Depending on the luminaire type, light output is available up to 2600 lm for pendant versions and 1440 lm for portable floor and table models. Designed to deliver warm, diffused illumination, Closer supports residential and hospitality applications where visual comfort and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces are desired.
