Babel
Babel Lamp by Àngel Jové for Santa + Cole.
The Babel lamp draws inspiration from the biblical story of the unfinished Tower of Babel, where humans were divided into linguistic groups. Àngel Jové wanted to offer a different perspective to the story, where the robust tower was perfectly finished and could shine with calling power.
Designed in 1971, Babel is made from alabaster, a material considered kitsch and unpopular at the time. Jové intentionally selected this material as a deliberate departure from the prevailing trends of the era.
Handcrafted, each lamp is unique and features a solid base and a hollow shade, which produces an ethereal glow when illuminated.
