Designed in 1971, the Babel Table Lamp from Santa & Cole is an alluring tribute to the alabaster material, evoking the story of the biblical tower of the same name. Angel Jove’s work in multiple disciplines of art underscores his appreciation of freedom. Here, Jove seeks to break the alabaster material from the mold of picturesqueness and vulgarity. A sense of refinement carries the piece as alabaster is honed into tapered, layered forms. The form’s sweeping surfaces make it easy to appreciate the material’s distinctive texture. A golden light accentuates this texture in a cozy display.
