Babele library – Flou
Babele is both a storage unit and a lamp. The shape was inspired by the antique architecture of Yemen. The idea was the synthesis of a multifunctional architectonic article that was technological yet elegant and timeless. With its pleasantly rounded shape, this swivel bookcase has four horizontal shelves and vertical dividers of different depths, which were designed to store books, vases and favorite ornaments. The structure in metal and wood incorporates a central column fitted with LED lights, which, in addition to providing light, acts as the ‘axis of rotation’. Babele has apparently simple lines yet is extremely sophisticated; it is a precious furnishing accessory produced using special processes, avantgarde manufacturing techniques and with details studied to guarantee its stability.
