Koa Living by Sriyansh Maheshwari — Designer Marble Furniture, Lighting & Stone Accessories

Koa Living serves design-conscious individuals seeking calmer, more considered spaces through design-forward furniture, lighting, and objects rooted in authentic materials and craft. Founded by Sriyansh Maheshwari in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, the studio produces marble table lamps, stone bookends, bathroom accessories, console tables, side tables, bowls, sculptures, and candle holders that quietly elevate spaces while feeling warm, grounded, and made to last.

Agra marble in five distinct stone varieties like Indian Travertine, Baroda Green, Indian Levanto, Butterscotch, and Neo White across living room, bedroom, bathroom, and study room applications.

About Koa Living

Koa Living's founding position is rare in India's contemporary home design market: a studio that is both materially specific (every piece is executed in natural stone like marble, travertine, onyx, or carved mineral composites) and design-resolved (the forms are the product of deliberate design thinking, not conventional marble craft production). The two qualities together, material authenticity and design intelligence are what Koa Living describes as "distinctive, material-led pieces that quietly elevate spaces."

Each Koa Living piece is conceived around the properties of its specific stone: the warm amber tone of Indian Travertine, the deep forest green of Baroda Green marble, the dramatic veining of Indian Levanto, the butterscotch warmth of Indian Honey, and the clean precision of Neo White marble. The stone comes first; the form follows.

The Indian Stone Varieties in the Koa Living Collection

Understanding the specific stone varieties Koa Living works with is the key to understanding the collection's colour palette, material quality, and design possibilities.

Indian Travertine. Travertine is a sedimentary limestone formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from mineral-rich spring or river water. Its characteristic appearance is a porous, banded surface with natural voids (vesicles) formed by escaping gases during deposition. This gives travertine a warm, organic texture distinctly different from the hard-surfaced density of marble. Indian Travertine is quarried in Rajasthan and carries a warm beige-cream tone with natural pitting and banding. In the Koa Living bathroom accessories range, Indian Travertine soap dispensers carry this stone's characteristic warmth and porosity into a daily-use object.

Baroda Green. Named for Baroda (the colonial name for Vadodara, Gujarat), Baroda Green is a dark, veined green marble quarried in India. Its deep forest-green body with white and grey veining references the green serpentine marbles used in Italian Renaissance architecture, while being a specifically Indian stone. In the Koa Living collection, Baroda Green appears in soap dispensers, dispenser sets, and bowls, a stone whose depth of colour makes it a strong visual statement in a bathroom or kitchen context.

Indian Levanto. Indian Levanto is a richly coloured marble with a dark reddish-brown body traversed by dramatic beige and gold veining — named for the Levanto marble of the Ligurian coast of Italy (also known as Rosso Levanto) whose visual character it references. In the Koa Living collection, Indian Levanto appears in the dispenser set and soap dispenser ranges. Its warm, jewel-toned colour making it one of the most visually dramatic stone options in the bathroom accessory category.

Butterscotch (Indian Honey). A warm amber-yellow marble with natural veining in cream and gold, named for its resemblance to the colour and warmth of butterscotch confectionery. In the Koa Living collection, Butterscotch appears in the Otel Butterscotch Soap Dispenser and the Column Series Bowl, a stone colour that introduces the warm, golden quality of honey into the bathroom or living room surface.

Neo White. A clean, white marble with subtle grey veining, the most neutral and architecturally precise of the Koa Living stone varieties. In the Neo White soap dispenser and dispenser set, the stone's restraint is its primary quality: a white marble surface that asks nothing of the room around it and complements every interior palette.

The Koa Living Collection Includes

Table Lamps

The Koa Living table lamp range is the most design-resolved sub-category in the collection each lamp pairs a natural stone base (marble or travertine) with a fabric shade, producing pieces that function simultaneously as light sources and as sculptural stone objects on the surfaces they occupy.

  • Japandi Table Lamp — A pleated cream fabric shade on a tapered red marble base. The dark red marble base introduces a rich, jewel-toned material warmth that contrasts precisely with the neutral pleated shade.
  • Florence Table Lamp — A cream fabric shade with a botanical pattern in beige and olive green, on a dark reddish-brown marble base. Named after Florence, a lamp that brings the material warmth of Italian stone craftsmanship into a contemporary domestic form.
  • Terra Table Lamp — A textured cream fabric drum shade with a cylindrical travertine stone base, accented by a gold-finished metal stem. Terra (Latin: earth, ground, soil), a lamp whose travertine base references the earth from which it was quarried, carrying the colour of raw geological sediment into the domestic interior.
  • Luna Table Lamp — A textured off-white stone base with a matching white fabric shade decorated with a brown floral branch pattern. Luna (Latin: moon), the most delicate and luminous of the Koa Living table lamp range, in a white stone and white shade combination that achieves a near-total material uniformity, the lamp reading as a single sculptural form rather than two distinct components.
  • Dune Table Lamp — A textured beige fabric drum shade with a glossy rounded stone base featuring a brown crackle or tree-bark pattern. Dune, a lamp whose base texture mimics the surface quality of desert sand after wind action: cracked, patterned, and carrying the evidence of natural process.
  • Plinth Table Lamp — A dark green marble-look cylindrical base with a white conical shade featuring a grey brushstroke pattern. Plinth, a lamp base conceived as a miniature architectural column base, introducing the formal vocabulary of classical architecture into a domestic light source.
  • Soho Table Lamp — A pleated beige fabric shade with a stacked marble base in dark brown and cream. Named after Soho, the most premium table lamp in the Koa Living range.

Marble Bookends

The Koa Living bookend range is the most comprehensive single-studio bookend collection available through The Living Influence, eight pieces in natural stone, each in a distinct form that treats the bookend as a sculptural object rather than a functional accessory.

  • Ripple Bookend — Set of 2 — Wavy sculptural stone bookends in polished beige marble with natural veining. The ripple form is rendered here as a static, permanent stone form.
  • Arcway Bookend — Set of 2 — Semi-circular marble bookends in beige-grey veined stone. The arch (arcway) is one of the most ancient and structurally significant forms in architecture.
  • Arch Morchana Bookend — Set of 2 — Natural marble bookends in a smooth, polished light beige and cream. Morchana, a bookend named for the ordered sequential logic of the arch form.
  • Arch Travertine Bookend — Set of 2 — Stylised figure-form bookends in light beige travertine stone. Two small stone pieces shaped as stylised architectural figures, the most anthropomorphic and sculptural of the Koa Living bookend range.
  • Mysa Bookend — Set of 2 — Round travertine or onyx stone bookends with natural veining and speckling. Mysa, a bookend named for the quality of ease and comfort that warm natural stone introduces to a room.
  • Arcadian Bookend — Set of 2 — Organic arch-form bookends in beige and cream travertine. Arcadian, a bookend that carries the weight of this pastoral tradition in a contemporary stone form.
  • Stepper Bookend — Set of 2 — Geometric stepped marble bookends in tan and brown with dramatic veining. The stepper form a series of ascending rectangular planes, each slightly smaller than the one below. It is a stepped pyramid in miniature, referencing one of architecture's oldest formal vocabularies.
  • Monolith Bookend — Set of 2 — Rectangular blocks in black and grey marbled stone. Monolith, a bookend that references the standing stones of prehistoric megalithic culture: Stonehenge, the menhirs of Brittany, the standing stones of Orkney — the most elemental architectural form in human history.

Stone Bowls

  • Marble Bowl — Beige — A small oval soap dish or bowl in polished cream-beige marble with subtle veining. A dual-purpose object — soap dish in the bathroom, catch-all in the entryway, serving vessel in the kitchen.
  • Hexagon Black Marble Bowl — A hexagonal bowl in charcoal-grey stone with natural white veining. The hexagon is the most structurally efficient tile form in nature, the honeycomb cell is the most famous natural hexagonal structure.
  • Column Series Bowl — A round marble bowl on three column legs in a dark brown and beige veined stone. A bowl that reads as furniture rather than tableware, the column-leg construction elevates the stone vessel above the surface it occupies, making it simultaneously a functional container and a designed object.
  • Frill Bowl — A ribbed, scalloped-edge marble bowl in off-white stone with a textured ribbed exterior. The frill (a gathered or pleated decorative edge) as a form vocabulary applied to natural stone, one of the most technically demanding finishes in stone working, requiring hand-grinding of each scallop arc to a consistent curve.
  • Roee Bowl — Butterscotch — A round natural marble bowl in swirling butterscotch-amber tones. Roee, a bowl in the warmest colourway in the Koa Living range.

Marble Consoles & Tables — Statement Stone Furniture

The Koa Living console and table range is the most significant category in the collection from an investment and room-impact perspective.

  • Ribl Console — A dark stone console table with carved cylindrical legs in black, grey, and beige marble. Ribl a console that applies the ribbed-column vocabulary to domestic furniture.
  • Alden Console — A marble console with sculptural geometric legs. Alden a console whose geometric leg form introduces an architectural precision suited to minimal and contemporary entry halls.
  • Orml Console — A white and grey veined marble console with matching stone legs. The most architecturally minimal console in the range, the legs and top sharing the same stone type, the piece reading as a single carved form.
  • Solene Console — A polished warm beige and brown marble console with sculptural slab legs. Solene the most materially warm and inviting of the Koa Living consoles, in a butterscotch-adjacent marble.
  • ORML Coffee Table — A rectangular marble coffee table with a polished grey and white veined surface and block legs. The most architecturally resolved and investment-significant piece in the Koa Living furniture range. A marble coffee table is the room's central surface object and the piece that most directly declares the interior's design ambition.
  • ORBEI Study Table — Nested oval tables with light beige stone tops and dark brown wooden block bases. A study table or nesting side table pair suited to living rooms and bedrooms where flexible surface arrangement is required.

Stone Side Tables

The Koa Living side table range covers both standalone side tables and nested sets. The side table is the most versatile piece of furniture in a room, serving as a bedside surface, a lamp stand, a drinks table, and a display surface. In natural marble, a side table elevates the material language of the entire room's surface hierarchy. Explore the complete side tables collection at TLI for the full range.

Marble Bathroom Accessories

The bathroom accessory category is the largest and most distinctive in the Koa Living collection. Individual soap dispensers and coordinated dispenser sets are all in natural stone. This is the category that most directly expresses the Koa Living philosophy: the daily-use object elevated through authentic material.

Individual Soap Dispensers — pieces in distinct stone types, forms, and pump finish combinations:

  • Marble Soap Dispenser — Indian Travertine — Cylindrical travertine stone body with a matte taupe pump. The most textured and organically surfaced dispenser in the range.

  • Reen Soap Dispenser — Tapered stone base with natural marbled patterns in beige, green, and brown with a brushed copper pump. The copper pump is the defining material decision, copper against natural stone creates a warm, aged-metal contrast.
  • Reen Dark Soap Dispenser — Conical dark green marble body with a copper-coloured pump. The deep colour contrast between dark green marble and copper pump is one of the most sophisticated material pairings in the Koa Living bathroom range.
  • Spyder Soap Dispenser — Teardrop-shaped black and dark green marble with a matte black pump. The teardrop form is one of the most aerodynamically resolved natural shapes.
  • Eara Soap Dispenser — Natural travertine stone with a black pump. Eara a vowel-rich name with a softness suited to the warm, porous quality of travertine stone.
  • Otel Travertine Soap Dispenser — Geometric beige travertine with a dark bronze pump. The geometric form introduces architectural precision to the travertine's organic surface.

  • Travertine Candle Holder — A U-shaped concrete-travertine candle holder in light beige, holding two slim taper candles. The U-form is one of the most minimal and architecturally resolved candle holder geometries, the stone block as a functional object.
  • Set of Three Candle Holder — Three sculptural ceramic candle holders with organic, wavy forms in off-white. Three pieces of different heights that compose as a group, the wavy forms creating movement against the stone-and-ceramic palette.
  • Green Candle Holder — Three green marble candle holders in stylised ascending-size sculptural forms. The green marble trio introduces the Baroda Green palette into the candle holder format.

Why Stone Matters — The Material Philosophy of Koa Living

Natural stone is one of the oldest and most enduring materials in human decoration and construction. The oldest known stone structures are the megalithic monuments of Malta, the standing stones of Carnac in Brittany, and the cairns of Newgrange in Ireland are al the most durable choices available.

In the context of contemporary home decor, the material qualities of natural stone translate into specific experiential advantages:

Weight and permanence. A natural stone soap dispenser, bookend, or bowl has a weight and solidity that immediately communicates quality. The specific gravity of marble (approximately 2.7 g/cm³) is similar to granite and significantly denser than glass, ceramic, or resin alternatives. When you pick up a Koa Living stone dispenser or bowl, its weight is the first and most direct evidence of material authenticity.

Geological uniqueness. Every natural stone piece carries a veining pattern, a colour gradation, and a surface variation that is the result of specific geological processes occurring over millions of years. No two Koa Living pieces are identical, not by design choice but by geological necessity. The veining in a Baroda Green dispenser records the metamorphic pressures that transformed the original limestone into marble; the pitting in a travertine bookend records the gas bubbles escaping from mineral-rich spring water during carbonate deposition.

Material depth and age. Indian Travertine was deposited in the Pleistocene epoch (approximately 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) from hot spring systems in Rajasthan. Baroda Green marble was formed during the Proterozoic era (approximately 2.5 billion to 541 million years ago) through the metamorphism of ancient seabed limestone. Indian Levanto carries iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) deposits that are among the most ancient chemical signatures on Earth.

Ageing. Natural stone objects improve with use. Marble and travertine develop a patina through contact with hands, water, and ambient light that deepens the surface's visual complexity over years. A Koa Living stone soap dispenser will look more beautiful in ten years than it does on delivery day.

How to Style Koa Living in Your Interior

The bathroom vanity as a designed surface. Replace plastic and resin bathroom accessories with a complete Koa Living Dispenser Set — Baroda Green or Neo White Dispenser Set (soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, and tray in coordinated natural stone). The effect is immediate and dramatic: the bathroom's surface material is elevated from functional to curated in a single purchase. Complement with a bath vanity accessory from the broader TLI collection.

The console and shelf composition. A Ribl Console or Solene Console as the entry hall's anchor. A Soho Table Lamp or Florence Table Lamp providing ambient accent light at surface level. A stone bookend set like the Arcadian Bookend or Ripple Bookend — anchoring books or objects on the console top. A Frill Bowl or Column Series Bowl as a catch-all. The Koa Living collection composes entirely within a single material vocabulary that is natural stone, making it one of the most internally coherent studio collections available through The Living Influence.

The bedroom side table. A marble Luna Table Lamp or Terra Table Lamp on a Koa Living side table, with a Marble Bowl — Beige as a bedside catch-all. The consistent natural stone material across lamp base, table, and bowl creates a bedroom side table composition that reads as deliberately curated rather than assembled.

The living room study shelf. A row of books between the Monolith Bookend or Stepper Bookend on an open shelf. A Travertine Candle Holder and a small stone bowl beside the books. The Japandi Table Lamp on the desk surface. A study shelf or study room composition that uses natural stone as the unifying material across objects of different scales and functions. Explore the TLI study room collection for complementary pieces.

FAQs

Who is Sriyansh Maheshwari and what is Koa Living?
Koa Living is a design studio founded by Sriyansh Maheshwari, based in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India's foremost city of marble and stone craft. The studio produces material-led home objects in natural stone like marble table lamps, stone bookends, bathroom accessories, marble consoles, bowls, sculptures, and candle holders designed for calmer, more considered spaces.

What stone varieties does Koa Living work with?
The collection uses five primary Indian stone varieties: Indian Travertine (warm beige porous sedimentary limestone from Rajasthan), Baroda Green (deep forest-green marble named for Vadodara, Gujarat), Indian Levanto (richly veined reddish-brown marble named for Italian Levanto marble), Butterscotch/Indian Honey (warm amber-yellow marble), and Neo White (clean white marble with subtle grey veining). Each stone carries its own geological history, colour character, and surface quality.

What is the significance of Agra as a stone-working centre?
Agra has been India's primary centre of marble and stone craft since the Mughal period. The city's stone-working lineage spans four centuries, maintaining artisan knowledge of stone cutting, polishing, veining enhancement, and surface finishing that no other Indian city possesses to the same depth.

What is travertine and how is it different from marble?
Travertine is a sedimentary limestone formed by calcium carbonate precipitation from mineral springs. Its characteristic porous, banded surface with natural voids distinguishes it from marble (a metamorphic rock formed by heat and pressure applied to limestone). Travertine is warmer, more organic, and more textured in surface quality than marble; marble is harder, denser, and capable of a higher polish.

Why do natural stone objects improve with age?
Natural stone develops a patina through contact with hands, water, and ambient light that deepens the surface's visual complexity over time. This is because the top layer of the stone's surface is microscopically smoothed by repeated tactile contact, increasing light reflectivity in areas of high use while leaving lower-contact areas at their original texture. This differential patination is what gives aged stone objects their distinctive quality of looking like they have been lived with rather than newly manufactured.

What is the Koru design reference in the Koru Beige Soap Dispenser?
Koru is a Māori word meaning the curling frond of the silver fern (Cyathea dealbata), a symbol of new life, growth, strength, and harmony in Māori culture. It is one of the most significant motifs in Māori art and ta moko (traditional tattooing). The Koru Beige Soap Dispenser takes this name for its organic, rounded form, a stone object that references natural growth rather than geometric precision.

Is Koa Living suited to hospitality and commercial interiors?
Yes, The Koa Living bathroom accessory range has particularly the coordinated dispenser sets in Baroda Green, Neo White, Indian Travertine, and Indian Levanto. It is particularly suited to boutique hotel bathroom specifications, where consistent natural stone across dispenser, cup, and tray creates the material quality associated with premium hospitality design.
