AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
De Babele hanging lamp is a remarkable design where architecture, art and lighting come together. Designed by Marc Sadler for Martinelli Luce, the lamp is characterized by its striking spiral silhouette, a form that alludes to the mythical Tower of Babel while at the same time making a strong graphic statement within the interior.
The layered construction gives the lamp a sculptural appearance that constantly changes depending on the viewing angle. By day, the Babele presents itself as an architectural object with a powerful presence, while in the evenings it transforms into a atmospherically lit source that spreads a warm and inviting light. The subtle combination of direct and diffused light creates a pleasant balance between functionality and ambience.
With a diameter of 40 cm, this version is exceptionally suitable above a dining table, in a living room, or as a focal point in an entrance or office setting. The bold design makes the lamp more than just lighting; it is a decorative object that adds character and depth to the space.
As with many Martinelli Luce designs, the Babele combines technical innovation with a poetic approach to light. The result is a lamp that not only illuminates but also connects and invites togetherness in a warm and intimate environment.
