Home / The Edit Lighting Solutions Inspiring ways to light a stairwell A staircase isn’t just a means of getting from one floor to the next; the right lighting can turn a functional space into an interior design centrepiece. A well-lit staircase not only promotes safety but can influence our emotional response when we enter an interior. Whether you’re looking to highlight architectural details with soft, understated lighting or to make a bold and authentic statement with your stairwell, Vibia’s pendant range opens up a world of creative possibilities for elevating the mood and atmosphere.Array naturally draws attention with its alluring presence. Combining soft downlighting with an upward glow, it provides gentle, intimate illumination. Suspended in an open stairwell, its translucent form enhances the surrounding space without overwhelming it, amplifying existing qualities while allowing the space to breathe. Crafted from fine threads stretched between two aluminium rings, Array shimmers enticingly overhead. The layered threads create an illusion of movement, captivating guests as they ascend the stairs. Perfect for high-ceilinged stairwells with plenty of space for composition, the collection comes in various shapes and generous sizes, uniting multi-story spaces with a play of majestic silhouettes. The work of Antoni Arola, the Palma pendant was designed to evolve over time. Like a luminous hanging garden, its capacity to create a natural and restorative ambience increases with its growth. Suspended in the stairwell of a multi-story building, its vertical trajectory is punctuated by spheres of soft light and hanging baskets with delicate tendrils of plant-life. Beyond its biophilic appeal, Palma enriches a space with an atmosphere of peace and serenity. Each globe consists of two semi-circles of blown opal glass united by an aluminium strap and suspended from almost imperceptible cables. The result is a sense of weightlessness, like multiple moons floating in space. © Kevin Belanger © Kevin Belanger Designed by Arik Levy, Rhythm vertical descends vertiginously from the top of a stairwell, creating a stunning cascade of ambient light.
