BABYLON Side table

BABYLON by Harry-Paul brings artful asymmetry and uncompromising modernity to the outdoor living room. A perfect complement to any DEDON dining or lounge setting, this iconic collection consists of much more than mere accessories. Whether in smooth handmade ceramic or translucent rotomolded polyethylene, BABYLON’s sculptural planters, stools and lighting units stand on their own. In developing BABYLON’s striking form, Harry-Paul cites inspirations as diverse as the 16th-Century Dutch painting Tower of Babel, by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and a pair of soft suede boots the designer owned in the 1980s. Striving to give the individual pieces in the collection the appearance of hand-crafted one-offs, he dove deep into complex algorithms and advanced rotomolding techniques. Characterized by its ribbed, asymmetrical, seemingly collapsing forms, BABYLON is the result of years of development and no shortage of imagination or perseverance. Among the ceramic side tables in mineral colors, the BABYLON collection includes extra-large planter, a side-table/stool in rotomolded polyethylene and, in the same sturdy design, rechargeable LED lighting unit with eight-step dimmer and handy remote control. Each product is offering a large variety of qualities: ceramic pieces are frost proof, non-absorbing, with excellent resistance to scratches, abrasion and indirect tensile stress, whereas polyethylene is 100% recyclable, light yet robust at the same time.
