Babylon X La Scène By Michel Fadel
Babylon’s aesthetic takes inspiration from the decadence of the famous ancient city, with the interior landscape having been created by world renowned interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán. Drawing on his signature use of structure, shape, and an acute sense of space, Lázaro Rosa-Violán created an immersive chiaroscuro atmosphere at Babylon, with beautiful ornaments, unique patterns and luxurious materials. The bespoke interior design incorporates a rich color palette with a burgundy hue and bold floral patterns. Striking fabrics, eye-catching textures, rich foliage and the tasteful incorporation of marble and intricate lighting create a setting that is eccentric, sultry yet inviting.
