More About This Collection

Ashni Studio – Handcrafted Designer Lighting for Modern Indian Interiors

Ashni Studio is a Bengaluru-based lighting design house founded by Priti Mehta, where every lamp is a hand-built conversation between craft, nature, and light. Available online through The Living Influence, the Ashni Studio collection brings sculptural, eco-conscious lighting to homes, hotels, and curated interiors across India.

Each piece is made from responsibly sourced, natural materials — banana paper, loofah, reclaimed wood — shaped by artisans skilled in woodturning, hand-texturing, and organic form-making. No two lamps are identical. No lamp is mass-produced.

What Makes Ashni Studio Lighting Different?

1. Designer-led, not factory-made
Every collection is conceived and guided by Priti Mehta. Artisans from across India hand-finish each lamp individually, resulting in pieces with natural variation, texture, and soul.

2. Eco-friendly materials at the core
Ashni uses banana paper, loofah, ethically sourced wood, and other natural materials — not as a trend, but as a foundational commitment to sustainable design.

3. Named collections with narratives
Unlike generic product catalogs, Ashni designs carry names and stories:

  • Amara — inspired by the journey of a bud opening into bloom; a table or pendant lamp that captures organic softness
  • Pravah — crafted from loofah and banana paper, its vine-like forms celebrate the slow, living nature of growth
  • Aldwin — a floor lamp in minimal banana paper, designed for quiet, contemporary spaces

4. Artisan-empowered production
Ashni actively supports women artisans and local craftspeople, making every purchase an act that sustains India's traditional craft ecosystem.

Ashni Studio Lighting Categories at The Living Influence

Floor Lamps

Ashni's floor lamps bring architectural presence to living rooms, reading corners, and open-plan spaces. The Aldwin, made from banana paper, is among the most sought-after — minimal in form, warm in glow.

Table Lamps

Designed for bedside tables, study desks, and console setups, Ashni's table lamps balance ambient warmth with sculptural detail. Collections like Amara reflect nature's geometry in an intimate scale.

Pendant & Suspended Lights

Ashni's suspended lights work as statement pieces above dining tables, in foyers, and across double-height spaces. Inspired by traditional Indian lantern forms, these hanging lights create a dialogue between shadow and glow.

Wall-Mounted Lamps

For layered lighting design, Ashni's wall-mounted lamps add depth and warmth to bedrooms, corridors, and hospitality spaces without overwhelming the visual field.

Chandeliers

Chandeliers in this collection also have multi-point hanging installation that function as centrepieces in large residential and hospitality settings, blending craft with dramatic visual scale.
