"Babel" Table Lamp by Santa & Cole – Hand-Carved Alabaster, 1971

About the Item

The Babel table lamp, designed by Àngel Jové in 1971 and produced by Santa & Cole, is a sculptural piece that merges art and functionality. Inspired by the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, its design evokes an ascending structure with concentric rings that add character and symbolism. Crafted from alabaster, a naturally translucent stone, the lamp features a solid base and a hollow shade, allowing light to diffuse softly and create a warm, intimate atmosphere. Each unit is unique due to the natural variations of the material and the handcrafted carving process. Measuring 41 cm in height and 30 cm in diameter, Babel is ideal for spaces seeking ambient lighting with a touch of timeless design. Equipped with a dimmer, it allows for adjusting the brightness to suit the ambiance.

By Àngel Jové, Santa & Cole
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A lofty debate between light and shadow. In the midst of the Spanish transition to democracy, a fresh, provocative group of artists and architects began to sow the seeds of what would later become a multi-colour explosion of modern night bars, very popular in the early 1980s, contrasting with Barcelona’s grey, mundane paronama at the time. Àngel Jové was one of those urban conspirators. The lamp refers to the biblical story of the unfinished Tower of Babel, where humans were divided into linguistic groups, victims of their ambition. The Babel lamp...
