AFRICA
The Africa table lamp combines richness of form and materiality with high-performance lighting capabilities. Defined by a slender, conical stem that leads to a neat head, this luminaire invites you to reach out and grasp it. Available in two sizes, Africa portable lamp’s lacquered matte texture and four natural tones bring warmth and tangibility to the design. Its chargeable LED light source provides three levels of intensity which are controlled by a simple push button at the head.
Functionality
The Africa collection stands out for its high functionality, featuring portable pieces that can be recharged, as well as built-in pieces, perfect for installations in public spaces
Francisco Gomez Paz
In 2004 Francisco Gomez Paz, an industrial designer born in Argentina, set up his studio in Milan, where he works with important companies in the sector. Since 2014, year in which he opened his studio-cum-laboratory, he divides his time between the two countries.
His boundless curiosity, his knowledge of materials and technology, his aesthetic sense and an eminently analytical creative process, experimental and manual, characterise his approach to design projects. Internationally distinguished with numerous awards over the course of his career, Gomez Paz has written a book, taught at several prestigious design schools around the world, and regularly organises workshops and lectures. Africa is his first collaboration with Vibia, a collection born to meet the needs that emerge from new ways of dwelling, where the hybridisation of domestic and professional spaces reveals a growing tendency towards freedom, nomadism and randomness.
