Ichiro Iwasaki has designed Closer for Vibia.

Designed for proximity, subtle presence and visual lightness, Closer complements welcoming outdoor spaces; its delicate shade is made from a braided textile that appears to inflate into spherical forms.

"The brief focused on creating a versatile, portable solution capable of accompanying everyday life across residential and hospitality settings, fostering a sense of proximity, comfort and calm," said Ichiro Iwasaki.

The collection is aimed at users who value flexible, human-centred lighting that supports relaxed, intimate atmospheres and adapts to different moments and environments.

By combining flexibility, material resilience and refined light quality, Closer offers an original response to contemporary living, where light moves naturally between spaces and moments.
