# Suspended Stalk Fixtures The Vibia 45-Degree Collection Brings More Dimension to Interior Lighting By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-09-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibia-45degree-collection References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/006246.html) & [vibialight](http://www.vibialight.com/) There is simultaneously a very earthy and an industrial effect to installing the [Vibia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibia-plusminus) 45-Degree Collection on one's ceiling. With their varying lengths, the light fixtures appear to mimic the look of stalactites on the roof of a cave; however, their regular cylindrical shapes and consistent circumferences are quite clearly the product of mass manufacturing. Victor Carrasco's design brings the role of the [metal pipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pivoting-lamps-collection) out of the wall and into full view. On the ceiling they serve a very different practical purpose but they also act as [compelling sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape). One is afforded sufficient freedom of creativity in the positioning of the Vibia 45-Degree Collection pieces. He can strive for rational regularity or a more organic arrangement. You cannot deny the particularly intriguing visual effect of the latter strategy that seems to plant roots from the room above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Suspended Stalk Fixtures:** The Vibia 45-Degree Collection introduces suspended stalk fixtures that mimic stalactites, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities in the lighting industry. - **Visible Metal Pipes:** Victor Carrasco's design brings metal pipes out of the walls and into full view, offering disruptive innovation opportunities in interior design and architecture. - **Creative Positioning:** The Vibia 45-Degree Collection allows for creative and organic arrangements, opening up disruptive innovation opportunities in spatial design and decor. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting:** The suspended stalk fixtures in the Vibia 45-Degree Collection present disruptive innovation opportunities in the lighting industry, enhancing creativity and visual effects. - **Interior Design:** The visible metal pipes in Victor Carrasco's design offer disruptive innovation opportunities in interior design, providing a unique aesthetic element and functional versatility. - **Architecture:** The Vibia 45-Degree Collection's metal pipe installation concept opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in architecture, allowing for creative and captivating spatial designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organically Fluid Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-collection.md) - [Delicate Illusory Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-light.md) - [Sustainable Cylindrical Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackabl-lighting-collection.md) - [Elegant Geometric Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geometric-light-fixture.md) - [Spontaneity-Inspired Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-designs.md) - [Suspended Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suspended-lighting-installation.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Geometric Bar-Like Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empyrean.md) - [Artistic Ribbon-Like Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fellas-ceiling-light.md)
