Capturing the sky

Openings for natural light within buildings represent an architectural strategy common to all cultures and historical periods.

Apertures integrated within man’s built environment that constitute a window onto the natural world, connecting and revealing, a universal device for humanising our buildings.

The SKYLIGHTS collection by Vibia reproduces this very effect and sensation, capturing the sky and bringing it indoors, a recreation of the reassuring and evocative feel of natural day light which it synthesises.
