Sculptures & Decorative Art Objects — Form, Material, and Meaning for the Modern Home
A sculpture is the most three-dimensional decision you can make in interior design. Where a painting occupies a wall and a vase animates a surface, a sculpture commands space — it asks to be walked around, to be viewed from multiple angles, to be considered as a physical presence in the room rather than a visual backdrop. At The Living Influence, the sculpture collection is assembled with exactly this in mind: each piece selected for its material quality, design integrity, and capacity to anchor a space with a depth of presence that purely decorative objects rarely achieve.
The collection spans a wide range of forms, materials, and design languages — from Divyendu Anand's fiberglass Ren Organic Sculptures and hand-cast abstract Ganesha figures, to the handcrafted alabaster stone Ganesha by Kasto Design (designer Ritu Rohilla), through to contemporary abstract art objects, clay pot sculptures, and figurative animal forms. What holds this range together is a shared commitment to craft quality, material authenticity, and the idea that a sculpture should reward not just the first glance, but every subsequent encounter.
What Is a Decorative Sculpture for the Home?
A decorative sculpture for the home is a three-dimensional art object selected for its aesthetic, cultural, or emotional contribution to a living space rather than for functional utility. Unlike architectural elements or furniture — which organise the room — sculptures introduce content: a material presence, a cultural reference, a design statement, or a moment of visual interest that the room would lack without it. In contemporary Indian interior design, sculptures occupy a growing and important role, particularly as the market for premium home decor has matured beyond wall art and lighting into three-dimensional object culture. Decorative sculptures for home spaces are placed on coffee tables, consoles, bookshelves, entryways, and mantelpieces — wherever the room needs a physical anchor with aesthetic weight.
Divyendu Anand — Sculptural Art Objects That Define a Room
Divyendu Anand is one of the most distinctive sculptural voices in The Living Influence's designer portfolio. His work operates in the space between fine art and interior object — pieces that carry the conceptual and material ambition of gallery sculpture but are designed to inhabit domestic spaces and enrich everyday living.
Ren Organic Sculpture — Black and White
The Ren Organic Sculpture by Divyendu Anand is available in two finishes — Black and White — and in two sizes: a Tall variant at 35"×9" and a Short variant at 27.5"×7.5". It is one of the most significant and commanding pieces in the entire Living Influence collection. The Ren is made from fiberglass — a material choice that allows for the kind of fluid, complex organic forms that natural stone or ceramic cannot easily support — and is hand-painted, with textured surface imperfections that are intentional, not incidental. The Ren sculptures have fluid forms, intricate textures, and a boundless character that introduces an unparalleled sense of uniqueness to any living space.
The Ren is best placed where it can be seen from multiple vantage points — a living room corner, a wide console, the floor of an entryway — and where its verticality can work with the proportions of the room rather than against them. In the Black finish, the Ren reads as a dramatic, sculptural statement; in White, it takes on a more ethereal, luminous quality. Both finishes engage light differently throughout the day, making the Ren a living presence in the space rather than a static object.
Ganesha Abstract Sculpture — Charcoal Black and Copper White
The Ganesha Abstract Sculpture by Divyendu Anand is a hand-cast, hand-painted interpretation of one of India's most revered iconographic subjects. Available in Charcoal Black and Copper White, the piece brings an abstract design language to Ganesha's form — honouring tradition while translating it into a vocabulary accessible to modern interior design sensibilities. The abstract approach allows the sculpture to function simultaneously as a spiritual object and a design statement: at home on a home mandir, on a console table, in an entryway, or as a tabletop focal point in a living room or study.
The hand-cast process means each piece carries individual character — no two are exactly alike — while the hand-painting provides a surface depth that purely moulded or cast pieces cannot replicate.
Kasto Design — Alabaster Stone Ganesha Sculpture
Kasto Design, founded in 2022 by Ritu Rohilla — an alumna of an Indian design college whose practice is rooted in the philosophy of connecting material and self — brings a different Ganesha expression to the collection. The Alabaster Ganesha by Kasto Design is carved from natural alabaster stone, a fine-grained, translucent mineral with a warm, luminous quality prized in both ancient and contemporary decorative arts. Dimensions are 10×6×13 cm — a considered tabletop scale that sits with equal grace on a puja shelf, a bedroom side table, or a console arrangement.
Alabaster is a material with genuine material depth: each piece of stone has its own density, texture variation, and tonal character, meaning that every alabaster Ganesha is, strictly speaking, a unique object. This is not a mass-produced idol; it is a handcrafted sculpture that carries the trace of the stone and the hand that shaped it. A sitting Ganesha in Indian iconographic tradition represents goodness, luck, calmness, prosperity, and joy — and Kasto Design's choice of alabaster as the material vessel for that symbolism gives the piece a meditative stillness entirely appropriate to its subject. Made to order with a 4–6 week lead time.
Contemporary Abstract Sculptures — Mirage, Yugen, Nova, and More
Beyond the named designer series, the sculpture collection at The Living Influence includes a range of contemporary abstract art objects that operate in a more open, formally experimental register.
Mirage and Yugen are among the most design-forward pieces in the range — abstract sculptural objects whose forms resist easy categorisation, designed to reward the viewer who takes time to sit with them. Mirage, with its layered translucency, plays with the perceptual instability its name evokes. Yugen — named for the Japanese philosophical concept of profound, mysterious beauty that is felt rather than articulated — is a piece designed for contemplation rather than immediate impact. Both are suited to living rooms and studies where the brief is to introduce an art object that opens a conversation rather than closes one.
The Nova Sculpture brings a more formal, geometric sensibility — a piece that reads cleanly against both warm and cool interior palettes and works as a statement accent on a console or bookshelf. The Pot Series in Clay and Pot Series in Black sit at the boundary between vessel and sculpture — handcrafted clay forms with the elemental quality of objects made close to the earth, as relevant to a contemporary Japandi interior as to a more eclectic, material-rich space.
Placement Guide — Where Sculptures Work Best in the Home
Entryway and Console
The entryway is the room that most directly benefits from sculptural investment. A well-chosen sculpture on a console table — the Ren Organic in its tall format, a pair of Divyendu Anand Ganesha abstracts, or an alabaster Kasto Ganesha placed as a threshold blessing — sets the tone of the entire home from the moment of entry. The entryway is also the placement where spiritual significance and design intention coexist most naturally; sculptures that carry cultural or devotional resonance feel especially at home here.
Living Room Coffee Table and Console
On a coffee table, a sculptural object of considered scale — the Nova Sculpture, the Ganesha Abstract, or one of the abstract art objects — functions as a visual anchor for the entire seating arrangement. The key is scale: on a standard Indian coffee table (typically 120–140 cm long), a single sculpture of 25–35 cm height creates a focal point without visually dominating the surface. On a console behind a sofa, a taller sculptural object like the Ren Organic — or a curated grouping of two or three smaller objects at varying heights — creates visual depth and the sense of a considered, layered arrangement.
Study Room and Bookshelf
Sculptures on a bookshelf or study desk work differently from those on a coffee table or console — here, they provide moments of visual relief within an otherwise intellectually organised environment. The Yugen and the Pot Series in Clay are particularly well-suited to study placements: their forms encourage contemplation without demanding it, making them good companions for focused work or reflective reading.
Home Mandir and Spiritual Spaces
The Kasto Design Alabaster Ganesha and the Divyendu Anand Ganesha Abstract Sculpture are natural choices for home mandir or pooja shelf placements. Both honour the traditional iconographic significance of Ganesha — remover of obstacles, harbinger of beginnings, patron of art and intellect — while expressing that significance through a material and design language that integrates with the modern Indian home rather than sitting apart from it.
Decorative Sculptures as Premium Gifts
Sculptures occupy a unique position in the premium gifting category: they are more personal and more lasting than flowers, more specific and more considered than generic home decor sets, and more culturally resonant than most other luxury gift categories. The Ganesha Abstract Sculpture by Divyendu Anand — available in Charcoal Black and Copper White — is one of the most thoughtful housewarming and Diwali gifts available in the Indian premium decor market. The Kasto Design Alabaster Ganesha, made to order from natural stone, is a genuinely special occasion gift that carries both material and spiritual significance.
