Most lighting systems are fixed in place, forcing you to adapt your space to the fixtures rather than the other way around. Ceiling lights stay where builders installed them decades ago, floor lamps are anchored to specific outlets, and moving anything requires rewiring or calling an electrician. For anyone who loves to experiment with mood, layout, or seasonal changes, that means living with permanent compromises.
The Vibia Plusminus concept reimagines lighting as a flexible, modular system that lets you draw with light throughout your entire living space without restrictions. Using a woven textile belt and snap-on lamp heads, it turns any room into a customizable canvas for comfort, style, and atmosphere that adapts as your needs or tastes evolve over time.

At the heart of Plusminus is a woven polyester belt that acts as both a structural support and an electrical backbone for the entire lighting system. The belt can be rolled across floors, looped around walls, or stretched across ceilings, adapting to any room’s architecture, furniture arrangement, or functional requirements without requiring permanent installation or complex professional wiring.
Lamp heads in various forms—including hemisphere, sphere, cone, and spotlight shapes—attach anywhere along the belt with simple, tool-free connections that anyone can handle regardless of technical skill. This makes installation and rearrangement as easy as moving furniture or hanging artwork, requiring no special tools, professional assistance, or electrical expertise whatsoever.
Plusminus is designed for an intuitive setup that encourages experimentation and creative expression throughout your home. Cylindrical mounts and brackets anchor the belt to walls, ceilings, or furniture surfaces, while the lamp modules can be moved, added, or removed in seconds based on changing needs or new ideas. The system’s earthy reds, blacks, and neutral tones blend into minimalist, contemporary, or eclectic interiors.
The concept works across living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms, providing both ambient background lighting and focused task illumination wherever you need it throughout the day and night. The textile belt’s soft, woven texture contrasts beautifully with the sleek metallic lamp heads, creating visual and tactile interest that enhances the overall sensory experience beyond pure function.
The system fills spaces with comfort and atmosphere through soft, diffuse light and endlessly customizable arrangements that you control completely. Users can shape the mood for focused work, relaxed evenings, or lively gatherings by simply moving modules along the belt. The tagline “create your own space” captures the intent to make light a tool for ongoing personal expression.
Vibia Plusminus offers a compelling vision where lighting becomes as dynamic and expressive as the people who live with it, adapting to daily rhythms and seasonal moods with effortless flexibility. For anyone tired of permanent lighting decisions, this concept shows how modular thinking can transform how we experience and interact with light in our homes.
