Babylon Horizon – Sculptural wall and ceiling light – Schwung – Brass and marble – 6 E14 LEDs – L 47.6 cm
The Babylon Horizon wall and ceiling light by Schwung is a striking sculptural creation that brings together the warmth of brass and the natural beauty of marble. Part of the BABYLON Collection, it draws inspiration from the earliest forms of writing in ancient Mesopotamia, translating the angular geometry of cuneiform symbols into a sophisticated contemporary lighting design. Its distinctive composition features spherical elements of brass and marble arranged in an interlocking structure reminiscent of a constellation suspended in time. Designed for installation as either a wall light or ceiling fixture, the Babylon Horizon creates an architectural statement while providing multidirectional illumination. Its six E14 LED light sources, rated at 4 W each, deliver a stated total luminous output of 1320 lumens, with a colour temperature range of 2200–3000 K, depending on the selected light sources. Available in four refined combinations of brass finishes and natural marble, this exceptional luminaire measures 47.6 cm in length and 80.8 cm in height. Both decorative and functional, the Babylon Horizon brings a sense of artistic expression, material richness and timeless sophistication to contemporary interiors.
A sculptural design inspired by the meeting of sky and earth
The Babylon Horizon takes its name from the horizon, the symbolic line where the sky appears to meet the earth. This poetic reference is expressed through a distinctive architectural composition in which contrasting volumes seem to exist in a moment of perfect stillness. Rather than following the conventional symmetry of traditional lighting fixtures, the Babylon Horizon explores intersecting lines, spherical forms and carefully balanced material contrasts. Its constellation of brass and marble elements appears suspended within an interlocking geometry, creating a striking sense of movement held in place. The substantial character of the materials contrasts with the apparent lightness of their arrangement, giving the design a unique visual tension. Mounted on a wall or ceiling, the fixture becomes an architectural feature in its own right, transforming the surrounding surface into part of the composition. Its multidirectional illumination spreads around the structure without favouring a single direction, allowing light to settle naturally across the space. The Babylon Horizon embodies a contemporary approach to decorative lighting, where geometry, material and illumination come together to create an expressive sculptural object.
The BABYLON Collection: a tribute to the origins of written language
The BABYLON Collection by Schwung draws its inspiration from an ancient Sumerian account of the origins of the written word. Long before the invention of paper, the people of Mesopotamia preserved important messages, stories and laws by pressing symbols into soft clay and allowing the material to harden. These early inscriptions developed into cuneiform writing, characterised by distinctive angular marks and geometric patterns. Schwung reinterprets this remarkable cultural heritage through a contemporary design language, transforming the graphic qualities of ancient writing into intersecting brass structures and natural stone elements. In the Babylon Horizon, this inspiration takes shape through an arrangement of spherical volumes and structured lines, suggesting a message inscribed not into clay but into space itself. The interplay of light and shadow reinforces this connection, revealing the contours and depth of the composition in a way that recalls engraved symbols. The BABYLON Collection establishes a dialogue between the earliest forms of human expression and contemporary design, transforming an ancient visual language into a series of distinctive lighting sculptures.
An elegant combination of brass and natural marble
The Babylon Horizon is distinguished by its sophisticated combination of brass and natural marble, two materials celebrated for their character, richness and enduring appeal. Brass forms the structural elements of the composition, bringing warmth and metallic depth, while the marble spheres introduce organic variations in colour and veining. The alternating arrangement of these materials creates a refined balance between metallic surfaces and the mineral beauty of natural stone. As marble is a natural material, each element features individual variations in pattern and tone, giving every fixture its own distinctive appearance. The Babylon Horizon measures 47.6 cm in length, 23.8 cm in width and 80.8 cm in height, proportions that give it a remarkable architectural presence. With a weight of 7.8 kg, the fixture has a substantial construction and requires a suitably strong mounting surface. Its elongated silhouette and interlocking geometry make it particularly appealing in interiors where a sculptural statement is desired without the use of a conventional pendant light. The combination of brass and marble gives the Babylon Horizon a timeless elegance, allowing it to complement both contemporary and classically inspired interiors.
Four luxurious finishes combining brass and natural marble
The Babylon Horizon is available in four carefully curated combinations of metal finishes and natural marble, each offering a distinctive decorative character. Classic Bronze & Rosso Levanto combines the rich warmth of a classic bronze finish with the deep reddish tones of Rosso Levanto marble, creating an elegant and sophisticated composition. Mahogany Brass & Calacatta Viola pairs the depth of mahogany-toned brass with the expressive veining of Calacatta Viola marble, resulting in a refined and luxurious aesthetic. Tarnished Silver Brass & Calacatta Black introduces a striking contrast between the patinated metallic finish and the darker tones of Calacatta Black marble, creating a bold and contemporary visual effect. Finally, Vintage Brass & Verde Alpi brings together the warm character of vintage brass and the rich green tones of Verde Alpi marble, offering a harmonious balance between classical elegance and natural materials. Each finish highlights the sculptural geometry of the Babylon Horizon in a different way, allowing the fixture to complement a variety of sophisticated interior styles. The natural variations found in marble further enhance the individuality of every piece, making each Babylon Horizon a distinctive decorative creation.
Six E14 LED light sources for multidirectional illumination
The Babylon Horizon is designed to accommodate six E14 LED light sources rated at 4 W each, giving a total nominal power consumption of 24 W. Schwung specifies a total luminous output of 1320 lumens and a colour temperature range of 2200–3000 K, depending on the LED light sources selected. This allows the fixture to provide a particularly warm or more conventional warm white atmosphere according to the chosen configuration. The arrangement of the six light points creates multidirectional illumination, allowing light to spread around the brass and marble structure while highlighting its intricate geometry. The resulting interplay of light and shadow accentuates the materials and reinforces the sculptural character of the fixture. Each E14 LED light source has a maximum permitted wattage of 10 W, in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The Babylon Horizon operates on a 220–240 V electrical supply and carries an IP20 protection rating, making it suitable for dry indoor environments. Its decorative lighting effect is ideal for complementing an existing lighting scheme while introducing a warm and sophisticated atmosphere.
A statement wall or ceiling light for refined interiors
With its versatile installation options, the Babylon Horizon by Schwung can be incorporated into a wide range of interior design projects. As a wall light, it becomes a striking vertical composition, particularly suited to a spacious living room wall, an elegant entrance hall or a sophisticated reception area. Its interlocking structure creates a strong decorative presence and transforms the wall into an architectural backdrop. Installed as a ceiling light, the Babylon Horizon introduces a sculptural focal point while distributing illumination in several directions, allowing its rich materials and unusual geometry to take centre stage. In a contemporary dining room, it can complement a carefully curated interior through the contrast between warm brass and expressive natural marble. It is equally suited to design hotels, luxury residential interiors and distinctive commercial spaces, where its unique aesthetic contributes to the overall atmosphere. With dimensions of L 47.6 × W 23.8 × H 80.8 cm, a weight of 7.8 kg, six E14 lamp holders and a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, the Babylon Horizon combines refined materials, functional lighting and contemporary artistic expression. More than a conventional light fixture, it is a sculptural interpretation of history, architecture and illumination.

The BABYLON collection by Schwung draws inspiration from the origins of writing and the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia. Inspired by the angular forms of cuneiform symbols engraved into clay, the collection reinterprets this ancestral language through sculptural lighting compositions combining solid brass and marble. Each luminaire echoes the geometric shapes of humanity's earliest written signs, creating a fascinating dialogue between history, architecture, and contemporary design.
The BABYLON collection transforms ancient symbols into exceptional lighting sculptures, where precise geometric lines meet the elegance of noble materials.
A Collection Inspired by Ancient Cuneiform Writing
Long before the invention of paper, Sumerian civilizations recorded their stories, laws, and knowledge on clay tablets. These inscriptions, composed of angular symbols, represent one of the earliest forms of writing in human history.
With BABYLON, Schwung translates this ancient geometry into a contemporary decorative language. Intersecting metal arms recall the distinctive lines of cuneiform writing, while marble elements evoke the mineral nature of these early forms of expression.
Architectural Design with Geometric Forms
The BABYLON luminaires are distinguished by their graphic structures composed of vertical and horizontal lines and intersecting arms. These carefully balanced arrangements create harmonious silhouettes that appear to draw three-dimensional symbols in space.
Each model explores proportions, symmetry, and contrasts to create a composition that is structured, elegant, and expressive.
The Combination of Solid Brass and Marble
The collection combines solid brass, a signature material of Schwung's craftsmanship, with the natural beauty of marble. The metal structures emphasize the architectural lines of the luminaires, while the mineral elements introduce depth, texture, and distinctive character.
This dialogue between metal and natural stone gives each creation a refined identity, where the materials themselves become essential elements of the design.
Sculptural and Warm Lighting
The light sources incorporated into the BABYLON compositions highlight the geometric forms and contrasts between the materials. Light reveals the delicate details of brass and marble while creating subtle plays of light and shadow reminiscent of ancient symbols engraved into clay.
Lighting becomes a decorative element in its own right, capable of visually structuring a space while creating an elegant and welcoming atmosphere.
A Collection with Multiple Configurations
BABYLON includes individual pendant lights, linear suspensions, wall lights, and ceiling lights. Among its signature designs are Babylon Single, Babylon Double, Babylon Horizon, Babylon Linear 7, and Babylon 6.
This variety allows the collection to complement different environments, from living rooms and dining areas to entrance halls, hotels, restaurants, and sophisticated reception spaces.
