BABYLON | SCHWUNG

Inspired by the origins of written language

The Babylon collection by Schwung draws inspiration from ancient Mesopotamia, where humanity's first written words were impressed into clay. These early cuneiform symbols become the foundation of a contemporary design language, transforming one of history's greatest cultural achievements into sculptural lighting that combines architecture, craftsmanship and timeless elegance.

Architectural geometry shaped by history

The distinctive angular forms of ancient cuneiform are reinterpreted through intersecting solid brass structures. Combined with carefully selected natural stone, these compositions create remarkable plays of light and shadow that recall the engraved markings found on ancient clay tablets, giving every luminaire a powerful architectural presence.
