More About This Collection

Nara Livin Collection — Designer Furniture, Lighting & Home Decor

Nara Livin is a design studio founded by Namya Khanna with a conviction that thoughtful, considered design belongs in every home. Based in Moradabad, India's foremost brass and metalwork manufacturing hub, the studio produces furniture, lighting, vases, mirrors, sculptures, and serveware that balance sculptural form with everyday functionality. Every Nara Livin piece is defined by warm, inviting tones, organic forms that feel both contemporary and timeless, and a commitment to material quality that makes each object worth living with for years. Available exclusively through The Living Influence, the Nara Livin collection brings the best of Indian studio design to modern homes across the country.

About Nara Livin — The Studio and Its Vision

Nara Livin was founded on a design philosophy that refuses the false choice between aesthetics and accessibility. Too often, well-designed objects are positioned as exclusive — available only at price points that place them beyond the reach of most households. Namya Khanna built Nara Livin to challenge this premise: to produce pieces with genuine material quality, sculptural resolve, and design intelligence that belong in everyday Indian homes, not only in high-budget interiors.

The Nara Livin collection is characterised by three consistent design qualities: warmth (warm-toned palettes — beige, butter cream, black, gold — that complement rather than dominate a room); organic form (shapes that reference natural, non-geometric forms — pebbles, ripples, waves, halos, nests — in furniture, lighting, and decor); and material honesty (surfaces that show what they are — textured ceramic, ribbed glass, brushed metal — rather than concealing their making behind uniform finishes).

The Nara Livin Collection — Key Pieces by Category

Vases

The vase is the category where Nara Livin's design language is most fully expressed — sculptural ceramic and glass forms in warm, earthy tones that function as standalone objects as much as flower vessels.

  • Vira Vase — A curved-handle vase in a warm tone — the curved handle is among the most distinctive design choices in the Nara Livin vase range, referencing ancient vessel forms while resolving them in a contemporary ceramic body.
  • Savanna Vase — A beige ceramic vase with an abstract design — the Savanna as a palette and texture reference: warm earth tones, organic surface variation, and a form that reads as both ancient and contemporary.
  • Opus Vase — A black ribbed vase with a textured surface. The ribbed texture is achieved through mould-forming or hand-tooling that creates vertical channels on the ceramic body, increasing both visual interest and surface area.
  • Oris Vase — A black ceramic vase with a plant-compatible form suited to both cut flowers and potted growing stems. Oris, a vase named for its defining feature: the precision of its opening, which determines how flowers are displayed.
  • Solis Vase — A white ceramic vase with a sculptural collar-like rim and hand-textured surface. Solis, a vase whose white-to-beige tone and hand-textured surface reference the quality of sunlit stone.
  • Asteria Vase — A black vase with curved handles — the Nara Livin signature handle form in a larger, bolder silhouette. A vase whose black tone and handled form reference the celestial and the ancient simultaneously.
  • Halo Vase — A black vase with a handle in a teapot-inspired design — one of the most distinctive silhouettes in the Nara Livin range. The Halo name references the circular light form that surrounds a luminous body — translated into the vessel's handle arc.
  • Verona Vase — A beige textured vase. Verona (the northern Italian city known for its Roman amphitheatre, Renaissance architecture, and its role as the setting of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet) — a vase whose warm terracotta-adjacent tone references the sun-baked stone of Verona's buildings.

Mirrors

Nara Livin's mirror range is one of the most design-resolved in the collection — each frame is a sculptural object as much as a functional surface, bringing form vocabulary that extends the studio's organic, contemporary language from decor to wall architecture.

  • Pebble Mirror — A round mirror with a soft, curved minimal metal frame. The Pebble Mirror brings this form into a minimal metal frame suited to bedrooms, entryways, and living room walls.
  • Contour Mirror — A mirror with a fluid, freeform metal frame in a wavy contour shape. The contour line — used in topographic cartography to trace lines of equal elevation, and in technical drawing to trace the outline of a three-dimensional form — gives this mirror its name and its design logic: a frame that traces a fluid, non-geometric outline around the reflective surface.
  • Lune Mirror — A round mirror with a gold bamboo-inspired handle frame. Lune (French: moon) — a round mirror whose circular form and gold bamboo handle reference the full moon seen through bamboo groves, a visual motif in both Japanese and Chinese decorative art.
  • Ripple Mirror — A round mirror with a wavy gold iron frame. The ripple is one of the most kinetic natural forms in visual culture, and the Ripple Mirror's wavy iron frame translates this energy into a static, wall-mounted form.

Sculptures & Decor Objects

The Nara Livin sculpture range demonstrates the studio's ability to produce objects that resist easy functional categorisation — pieces that are simultaneously art, craft, and decor.

  • Aria Decor Sculpture — Aria (Italian: air, melody; also the extended solo vocal piece in opera) — a sculpture whose name signals lightness and musical resonance.
  • Relic Decor Sculpture — A piece named for its quality of feeling ancient and found rather than newly manufactured — the aesthetic of the archaeological object, the excavated artefact.
  • Omi — A decor object whose short, vowel-rich name references Japanese minimalist naming conventions — the kind of object name that suggests functional emptiness and visual presence simultaneously.
  • Eclipse Set Decor Sculpture — A set piece referencing the eclipse — the celestial alignment in which one body occults another, creating a moment of total darkness or a corona of light depending on positioning.
  • Oslo Decor Sculpture — Named after Oslo — Norway's capital city and a global reference point for Scandinavian design minimalism.
  • Aeris Decor Sculpture — Aeris (Latin: of air, genitive of aer; also a character name in Final Fantasy VII — a cultural reference to a beloved figure of grace and transience) — a sculpture whose name signals both atmospheric lightness and emotional resonance.
  • Just the Two of Us Chess Board — A designer chess board — one of the most specific and personality-expressing objects in the Nara Livin collection. Chess (a two-player strategy game) is the world's oldest continuously played competitive game; a designed chess board is simultaneously functional, decorative, and culturally resonant.

Bowls

  • Savanna Bowl — The companion piece to the Savanna Vase in the same warm, earthy ceramic palette.
  • Vera Bowl — Vera (Latin: true, genuine; also associated with the aloe vera plant and its qualities of purity and healing) — a bowl whose name signals material honesty and organic form.
  • Kyoto Bowl — Named after Kyoto — Japan's ancient imperial capital, home to the greatest concentration of traditional Japanese architecture, garden design, and craft heritage outside of Tokyo, and a global reference point for the wabi-sabi aesthetic that values imperfection, impermanence, and material authenticity.
  • Sora Bowl — Sora (Japanese: sky) — a bowl whose name signals the open, unbounded quality of a clear sky — lightness, transparency, and spaciousness.
  • Nest Bowl — A bowl in a nest-inspired organic form — the bird's nest as a design reference for a container that holds its contents with warmth and care.
  • Cove Bowl — Cove (a small, sheltered bay or recess in a coastline) — a bowl whose form references the curved containment of a natural coastal shelter.

Lighting

The Nara Livin lighting range spans table lamps, portable lamps, pendant lamps, a chandelier, and a floor lamp — all in the studio's consistent warm palette of gold, brass, and black.

  • Dawn Table Lamp — Named after dawn — the period of first light, characterised by the warm, directional quality of low-angle sunlight. A table lamp designed for the quality of morning light in a bedroom or study.
  • Mirth Table Lamp — A black table lamp (Mirth: Old English for joy, merriment) — a lamp that brings a quality of lightness and warmth to its setting despite its dark finish.
  • Hush Table Lamp — A gold table lamp (Hush: the quiet after sound, the pause between notes) — designed for the bedroom register of evening and night, where a lamp should support transition into quiet.
  • Lumo Table Lamp — A gold dome shade table lamp with a textured rod and round base. Lumo (Latin: light, luminance) — a table lamp named for its primary quality: the warm, dome-diffused light of a gold shade that warms the surfaces it illuminates.
  • Beam Portable Lamp — A bronze-coloured portable lamp suited to surfaces across the home without a fixed installation point. Portable lamps — rechargeable, cordless, moveable — are among the most functionally versatile lighting formats in contemporary home design. The Beam name references the directed quality of its light output.
  • Orbit Portable Lamp — A brass-finish portable lamp. Orbit (the curved path of one body around another under gravitational influence) — a portable lamp that moves through the home in the way that a satellite moves in its path: purposefully, at a defined relationship to the surfaces it illuminates.
  • Celeste Pendant Lamp — A black pendant lamp on a metal rod. Celeste (Italian/Spanish: celestial, of the sky or heaven) — a pendant that brings the quality of downward, celestial light into the room's ceiling plane.
  • Lys Pendant — A ribbed design pendant lamp. Lys (French: lily; also the fleur-de-lys, the stylised lily that is one of the most historically significant decorative motifs in European heraldry) — a pendant whose ribbed form references the vertical lines of the lily petal.
  • Aure Chandelier — A chandelier with hanging light bulbs on a metal rod. Aure (Latin: of the breeze, genitive of aura; also the gentle air or energy that surrounds a person or object) — a chandelier designed for the quality of ambient, atmospheric light that fills a room without directing it.
  • Loft Floor Lamp — A tall floor lamp with a gradient design and white shade — the most statement-making floor piece in the Nara Livin lighting range.

Side Tables & Coffee Tables

  • Hana Table — Hana (Japanese: flower; also a common Japanese given name associated with the aesthetic of transient natural beauty) — a side table in an organic, floral-reference form.
  • Embel Table — Embel (suggesting embellishment — the addition of decorative detail to a functional form) — a compact side table that functions as a decorative object as much as a surface.
  • Sorelle Side Table — Sorelle (Italian: sisters) — a side table that pairs naturally with another piece in the room, as sisters complement each other.
  • Grove Side Table — Grove (a small group of trees, typically with a clear understory — the biophilic interior reference for a light-filled, organic natural space) — a side table whose material or form references the grove's warmth and organic geometry.
  • Mesa Nesting Tables — Mesa (Spanish: table; also a flat-topped geographical feature characteristic of the American Southwest's landscape) — a set of nesting tables that stack and separate like geological strata.
  • Zeen Coffee Table — A primary living room coffee table in the Nara Livin range — the central surface of the seating composition.
  • Clay Table — A side or coffee table in a clay-finish surface — the material name signals a warm, earthy, artisan quality consistent with the Nara Livin palette.

Consoles

  • Ren Console — Ren (Japanese: lotus; also the Confucian virtue of benevolence and humaneness, one of the five cardinal virtues of Confucian ethics) — a console table whose name carries both the botanical and the philosophical.
  • Aurum Console — Aurum a console in a gold or warm metallic tone. Gold has been the material of royalty, divinity, and supreme value across every major civilisation — the Aurum Console carries this accumulated cultural weight in a contemporary domestic form.

Serveware & Accessories

  • Rayè Coasters — Rayè (French: striped) — coasters with a striped surface pattern in the Nara Livin serveware vocabulary.
  • Plenum Tray — Plenum (Latin: full; also the physics term for a space completely filled with matter — the opposite of a vacuum) — a tray named for its quality of fullness and completeness as a surface organiser.
  • Rise Cake Stand — A designer cake stand — one of the most table-styling-forward serveware objects available, elevating its contents literally (raised above the table surface) and figuratively (transforming a functional act of food presentation into a designed table moment).
  • Haze Ashtray — Haze (the optical phenomenon caused by fine particles or vapour suspended in the atmosphere, reducing visibility and creating a soft, diffused visual quality) — a designer ashtray in a form that treats a functional object as a considered decor piece.

FAQs

Who is Namya Khanna and what is Nara Livin?
Nara Livin is a design studio founded by Namya Khanna, based in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh — India's foremost brass and metalwork manufacturing hub. The studio produces furniture, lighting, vases, mirrors, sculptures, and serveware that balance sculptural form with everyday functionality, in warm tones and organic forms suited to modern Indian homes. The founding vision is that great design should be accessible to everyone, not a privilege of high-budget interiors.

Where is Nara Livin based in India?
Moradabad — known as Peetalnagari (City of Brass) — has been India's primary centre of brass and metalwork craft since the Mughal period. The city's workshops produce around 40% of India's brass and metal handicraft exports, maintaining artisan knowledge of lost-wax casting, chasing, engraving, and surface patination developed over four hundred years. Nara Livin draws on this living craft tradition while directing it toward contemporary design forms — a combination of artisan depth and modern design language that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.

What design aesthetic defines the Nara Livin collection?
Nara Livin is characterised by three consistent design qualities: warmth (warm-toned palettes — beige, butter cream, black, gold); organic form (shapes referencing natural, non-geometric forms — pebbles, ripples, waves, halos, nests); and material honesty (surfaces that show what they are — textured ceramic, ribbed glass, brushed metal). The result is a collection that reads as simultaneously contemporary and timeless, suited to Japandi, minimal, and warm contemporary interior styles.

What is the origin of the chess game referenced in the Just the Two of Us Chess Board?
Chess originated in the Gupta Empire of India in approximately the 6th century CE, known in Sanskrit as Chaturanga — meaning four divisions of the military (infantry, cavalry, elephantry, and chariotry). The game spread westward through Persia (as Chatrang, then Shatranj) and into the Islamic world and Europe, evolving into the game known globally today as chess. The Just the Two of Us Chess Board by Nara Livin is one of the most culturally historically grounded objects in the collection — a designer piece rooted in one of India's most significant intellectual exports.

Which Nara Livin pieces are best for an entryway or foyer?
The Aurum Console or Ren Console as the primary surface, the Pebble Mirror or Contour Mirror above it, and the Aria, Oslo, or Relic Decor Sculpture on the console surface compose the classic entryway triptych entirely within the Nara Livin collection. The studio has 4 pieces tagged specifically for entry foyer and foyer applications.

What is the difference between the Beam and Orbit Portable Lamps?
Both are cordless, rechargeable portable lamps suited to flexible, installation-free use across any room surface. The Beam is in a bronze finish with a directed, beam-like light quality; the Orbit is in a brass finish. The choice between them is primarily a finish decision — bronze (warmer, slightly darker) or brass (brighter, more gold-toned) — depending on the room's existing material palette.
