A light to grab and go, the portable Mayfair Mini is powered by a rechargeable battery and can be moved exactly where needed - indoors or out - via its slender yet sturdy stem.
Perfectly proportioned, Mayfair Mini exudes an elegant equilibrium with its intriguing interplay of straight lines and curved contours. The sculptural silhouette measures a diminutive 38cm x 20cm and casts a contained pool of diffuse, downward light that creates an intimate effect. A small opening at the top of the shade also emits a glow, balancing the brightness below and lending the look of light intersecting the stem.
Created by Diego Fortunato, Vibia’s new Mayfair Mini table lamp makes a striking statement in a small-scale design. A modern reimagining of the traditional 18th-century bouillotte light, the fixture features a slender steel stem that rises up to bisect its shade.
The table lamp is offered in three formats. One is a portable version powered by a rechargeable battery. This can be easily moved where needed, indoors or out, via its sturdy metal stem, like a mobile lighting companion. A push button in the base turns it on and off and controls dimming.
There are two bolted versions, available either with a base that includes the same push button controls as the portable or with no base and available in DALI, 1-10V and push dimming options. The bolted formats are fixed in one position and intended to integrate with the surrounding architecture. They are ideal for commercial spaces such as hotels, where they can illuminate specific spots in a lounge area or in libraries where they can be used as reading lamps on communal tables, for instance.
Mayfair Mini comes in a choice of four Chromatica colours that radiate a warm, ambient glow: white, beige, terracotta, and green. Fresh and friendly, the glossy finishes offer an informal juxtaposition with the fixture’s refined form, lending it a versatility that suits a wide range of spaces and atmospheres.
