W+ introduces Babel by ThamVidegård – Light with something to say
Expressive without being loud, Babel combines playfulness with poise, its striking form giving it bold confidence and clear sense of direction.
Available in two sizes, Babel can read asa quiet accent or a more pronounced statement – or, when used together, as a dynamic dialogue.
Babel provides rich, dimmable light with directional clarity and a comfortable, high-quality feel. A smooth hinge ball allows for accurate, effortless adjustment.
The distinctive, graphic cone shape gives Babel its character and presence, adding playful personality without losing its sense of refinement. Two sizes allow for interesting combinations and spatial variation.
