BABILONIA | The vision of a suspended garden
A new way of inhabiting the outdoors comes into being: a space shaped by ritual and contemplation.
During Milan Fashion Week 2025, within the wonderful setting of the Ornare showroom in Via Manzoni, Jwana Hamdan unveils a preview of her creative vision for 2026 with the project Babilonia: a suspended garden that translates design into a living architecture.
Like the hanging gardens rising toward the sky, the forthcoming collection rises as bold foliage patterns, generous and vibrant, intertwine with pure, sculptural lines: a dialogue of organic and geometric forces, of nature’s spontaneity and the mind that interprets it.
The garden, in its symbolic dimension, is a space of order and dream, a point of balance between nature and artifice. In this suspended state, the Babilonia collection expresses its deepest tension: it inhabits the threshold of material and meaning, rootedness and elevation, the tangible act of living and its poetic reflection.
Highlights of the installation
Majlis Lounge
The brand’s iconic seating unfolds in a linear composition, accompanied by the Maitha armchair by Lorenza Bozzoli, both dressed in the Sand Fortress palette and interpreted with the new Babilonia textiles. Together, they embody the convivial and ritual essence of the brand.
Aliya & Alì Lounge
A new proposal marking the debut of the Aliya lounge chair and two-seat sofa, in dialogue with the Alì low table, all designed by Lorenza Bozzoli. The entirely metal structures, with their sinuous and enveloping lines, meet the refinement of lava stone in a Mars Red finish, while the Blue Mirage palette of the new textiles transforms the strength of raw materials into a language of warm and sophisticated elegance.
The lighting atmospheres of the installations were curated with the kind collaboration of ILTI Luce.
Babilonia is a contemporary archetype: in this language, every form is a symbol, every surface a narrative. Matter shapes spaces for pause and gathering, spaces that are open to an idea of beauty that breathes, welcomes, and suspends.
