Babele is a direct light suspension lamp made of turned and painted aluminium, externally with different shades of micaceous colour and gilded inside. Suspended with steel cables, it is produced in three diameters.

Designed by Marc Sadler in 2005 for Martinelli Luce, the surface of the lamp is characterised by circular ribs of different diameters arranged in non-parallel planes, almost as if to describe a path: man's infinite journey towards light and truth as opposed to everyday greyness. Babele has a strong personality, attracting attention, capable of filling the space on its own.

A large suspension lamp with direct light with a rational shape but dressed in transgression. A strong spiral sign characterises its profile. The finish and the non-uniform external colour enhance its strong presence in the environment and contrast with the warm light reflected from its gold-painted interior.

"Babel, like the tower in the Bible punished for the presumption of wanting to touch the sky, and from there the confusion of languages that prevented men from communicating with each other. Instead, a beautiful "bell" that seems to have been forged by hand and that gathers under it new forms of modern conviviality."
