Studio Lakdoo Collection — Designer Wooden Furniture, Lighting & Marble Consoles from Rajkot

Studio Lakdoo is the expression of Devang Chhaniara's passion for originality and his commitment to crafting something strikingly singular. A multidisciplinary design studio based in Rajkot, Gujarat, the studio works across Spatial Design, Interior Design, Furniture Design, and Graphic Design — unified by a consistent, holistic approach to design that treats each discipline as a different register of the same underlying inquiry: how do objects, spaces, and surfaces create a sense of belonging?

The Studio Lakdoo collection at The Living Influence brings together 17 pieces of designer wooden furniture and lighting — all in stock — including solid wood coffee tables, statement consoles in wood and dark green marble, sculptural side tables in handcrafted teakwood, accent chairs with gold metal accents, and a range of globe-form lighting in natural wood. Every piece is built from natural materials, characterised by the use of spherical and organic forms, minimal construction, and the integration of natural elements — including living plants — into the furniture's design vocabulary.

About Studio Lakdoo — Design That Dares to Be Different

Studio Lakdoo was founded by Devang Chhaniara in Rajkot — the fourth-largest city of Gujarat (population approximately 1.6 million in the 2011 census), historically known as a centre of manufacturing, engineering, and craft production in western India. Rajkot's industrial identity — engineering precision, material knowledge, craft workshops — provides a different kind of design context than the metropolis-based design studios of Mumbai, Delhi, or Bengaluru. Studio Lakdoo draws on this context: its furniture is robust, precisely constructed, and built to function well before it is built to look good — while also looking very good.

The studio's founding conviction is originality — "crafting something strikingly singular" is not a marketing phrase but a design commitment. In a home interiors market dominated by familiar mid-century modern reproductions, Scandi-influenced minimal pieces, and globally homogenous contemporary furniture, Studio Lakdoo produces objects that have not been seen before. The spherical vocabulary, the integration of plant forms, the dark green marble and solid wood material pairings, and the naming conventions (Dhyan, Viraam, Orba, Elephas — a mixture of Sanskrit, coined, and English words) together produce a design language that is identifiably Devang Chhaniara's and identifiably Indian — rooted in the material and cultural specificity of a Gujarat workshop tradition while operating in the formal vocabulary of contemporary global design.

The studio's approach — holistic, multidisciplinary, consistent — means that each Studio Lakdoo piece reads as a member of a family. The same proportional intelligence, the same material warmth, and the same commitment to spherical and organic form vocabulary appear whether the piece is a ₹10,620 table lamp or a ₹89,680 console. This internal coherence is what makes Studio Lakdoo furniture suited to room compositions rather than isolated purchase decisions: the pieces work together and build a consistent spatial identity.

The Studio Lakdoo Collection — All 17 Pieces

Designer Lighting — 5 Pieces

The Studio Lakdoo lighting range demonstrates the studio's signature form vocabulary — spherical, organic, wood-and-glass — at the most intimate scale.

Wall Sconces

• Sora Wall Light — A solid wood wall sconce with a frosted glass globe. Sora (Japanese: 空 — sky; a name suggesting openness, light, and the infinite blue of the upper atmosphere) — a wall light whose frosted glass globe diffuses warm light in the manner of a small moon against a dark sky. The solid wood mounting bracket introduces the warmth of natural timber into the wall plane at the lamp's anchor point. Suited to bedroom headboard walls, living room accent lighting, and corridor installations.
• Mizu Wall Light — A wood and glass wall sconce. Mizu (Japanese: 水 — water; the character for water is among the most ancient and formally beautiful in the Japanese writing system, derived from the oracle bone script kanji of flowing water in a stream) — a wall light named for the fluid, reflective quality of natural water. The most premium wall sconce in the Studio Lakdoo range.

Table & Pendant Lamp

• Dhyan Table Lamp — An abstract sculptural table lamp with a dark wood crescent-shaped base and a glowing white spherical bulb on a white platform. Dhyan (Sanskrit: ध्यान — meditation, contemplation, focused attention; the seventh of Patanjali's eight limbs of yoga, one step before samadhi, enlightenment; the Japanese/Chinese character Zen derives from the Chinese pronunciation of this Sanskrit word, Chan, which derived from dhyana) — a table lamp whose minimal, contemplative form references the meditative stillness it is named for. The crescent-and-sphere composition is the Studio Lakdoo signature form in its most compact expression.
• Orba Hanging Light — A pendant light with three wooden geometric beads (one cylinder, two spheres) suspended on a black metal rod from a black ceiling canopy, with a warm white globe bulb below. Orba — from the Latin orbis: circle, disc, orb — a pendant whose name and form are identical: a composition of spheres and cylinders resolved around the hanging globe as its functional and formal conclusion. The three wooden beads introduce the Studio Lakdoo spherical vocabulary at ceiling level, making the pendant itself a small sculptural installation rather than merely a light fixture.
• Lumi Floor Lamp — A minimalist floor lamp with a warm glowing vertical ribbed glass shade framed in dark wood, supported by a circular wooden base. Lumi (from the Latin lumen: light, brightness; the SI unit of luminous flux is the lumen, the measure of total visible light emitted by a source per unit time) — the most architecturally resolved piece in the Studio Lakdoo lighting range. The ribbed glass shade introduces a material texture that refracts the lamp's light into horizontal bands across surrounding surfaces, creating a directional light quality unlike the diffuse globe of the wall and pendant lamps.

Designer Coffee Tables — 4 Pieces

Coffee tables are the living room's central surface object — the piece that every seating element faces, around which every conversation occurs, and whose material, proportion, and form defines the seating composition's character more decisively than any other single furniture piece.

• Round The Edge — A round solid wood coffee table with a built-in game board in the centre. The most distinctive and conversation-generating piece in the Studio Lakdoo collection — a coffee table that integrates a playing surface (the game board) into its primary surface, treating the table as a site of social activity rather than merely a functional surface. The built-in game board in a premium wood coffee table references the tradition of games furniture in the European decorative arts — the games table (table de jeu in French furniture) was a fixture of the 18th-century salon, designed specifically for card games, chess, and backgammon. Studio Lakdoo updates this tradition for the contemporary Indian living room.
• Viraam Desk — A coffee or desk table with a dark green marble top and a cylindrical solid wood base. Viraam (Sanskrit: विराम — pause, rest, cessation; also the pause mark in Devanagari script that indicates the end of a sentence or clause — the punctuation mark of the Sanskrit writing system) — a desk whose name references the quality of focused pause, the moment before thought resumes. The dark green marble top introduces the most colour-specific and materially premium element in the Studio Lakdoo furniture range: dark green marble (in a Baroda Green or similar emerald-toned stone) against solid wood is one of the most dramatically resolved material pairings in contemporary furniture design.
• Boast Table — A low solid wood coffee table with a curved oval top, thick cylindrical legs, and an attached round side table. The most organically formed coffee table in the collection — the thick cylindrical legs introduce the spherical-and-tubular vocabulary of Studio Lakdoo into the furniture's structural elements, not merely its decorative ones. Boast (Old English: a proud claim; here used in the design sense of a statement — a table that announces itself as a considered presence in the room).
• Island Desk Table — A mid-century modern influenced coffee table with a sliding oval tray top, a lower shelf, and brass support legs. The sliding tray top is the table's defining functional innovation: it allows the surface to be reconfigured — extending or contracting the usable area — making it one of the most adaptable coffee tables in the Studio Lakdoo range. Island (the island as a piece of furniture — a free-standing surface accessible from all sides — references the kitchen island, one of the most significant innovations in domestic furniture design of the 20th century) — a table named for its spatial independence and functional accessibility.

Designer Consoles — 3 Pieces

• Oblong Console — A mid-century modern TV stand or console table with rounded ends, three cabinet doors with circular dark metal accent handles, a top shelf, and a cylindrical planter on the right side. The Oblong Console is the most complete storage furniture piece in the Studio Lakdoo range — it functions as a media console, a sideboard, and a display surface simultaneously. The circular metal handles and the cylindrical planter directly reference the spherical and circular vocabulary that defines the studio's formal language. Oblong (from the Latin oblongus: somewhat long, longer than wide) — the name is its form description.
• Elephas Console — A curved Art Deco-influenced entryway console with light oak wood grain cabinets, dark green marble tops, and slim gold handles, paired with an oval wood grain body and a cylindrical side pedestal. Elephas (Latin: elephant — the genus name of the genus to which Asian elephants belong, Elephas maximus; derived from the Greek elephas, possibly from the Proto-Semitic or African root for the elephant) — the most materially premium and architecturally resolved console in the Studio Lakdoo range. The combination of light oak grain, dark green marble, and gold hardware is a contemporary Art Deco palette — referencing the 1920s–1930s design movement (the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Paris 1925 — the exhibition that gave Art Deco its name) that pioneered the pairing of precious stones with exotic woods and gold metal.
• Calm Console — A console with a round light wood decorative top element with concentric circular grooves on a dark green marble base. The Calm Console's surface element — a large round wooden cylinder with concentric target-style rings — is the most formally abstract piece in the Studio Lakdoo furniture range. The concentric circle (a set of circles sharing the same centre point) is one of the most fundamental geometric forms in decorative art — seen in the growth rings of a tree cross-section, the ripple pattern of water disturbed at a point, the astronomical model of planetary orbits around the sun. At the scale of a console top element, it reads as both a sculpture and an object with narrative resonance.

Designer Side Tables — 3 Pieces

• Smithy Table — A modern round side table with a medium brown wood grain top and base, featuring a matte black rectangular central column. Smithy (a blacksmith's workshop — from the Old English smithe, a place of forging and making) — a side table named for the tradition of skilled handcraft production from which its form derives. The matte black column introduces a vertical accent of industrial precision into the warm wood surface and base.
• Soar Table — A round wooden side table with a thick cylindrical base — the Studio Lakdoo form vocabulary at its most distilled: a circle above a cylinder, the same conversation as the Orba pendant, the Dhyan lamp, and the Boast Table legs, but resolved at the scale of a side table. Soar (to rise steeply, to fly without wing-flapping — the aerodynamic term for dynamic lift without active propulsion) — a side table named for a quality of lightness that its solid cylindrical base form-contradicts: visual weightlessness from material weight.
• Anthill Table — Handcrafted Teakwood Side Table — A round teakwood side table with a sculptural cylindrical base featuring a circular cutout. The most specifically craft-intensive piece in the side table range — the circular cutout in the cylindrical base requires precision woodworking to achieve the clean, resolved form visible in the product imagery. Anthill (the structure built by ant colonies from excavated soil, wood, and organic material — among the most complex and architecturally sophisticated constructions in the natural world: an anthill of the species Lasius flavus can extend 2–3 metres underground and support a colony of 100,000+ workers) — a side table whose name references natural construction intelligence, the precision and collaborative effort encoded in a seemingly simple mound. Teak (Tectona grandis — a tropical hardwood native to South and Southeast Asia, cultivated for its natural oil content that resists moisture, decay, and insect damage; its Janka hardness rating of 1,070 lbf makes it among the most durable hardwoods for furniture production; traditional Indian craft furniture — royal court furniture of the Malabar Coast, Chettinad wooden architecture of Tamil Nadu — has used teak for centuries as the primary structural and decorative hardwood) — the material choice that most directly grounds Studio Lakdoo in the Indian craft furniture tradition.

Designer Chairs — 2 Pieces

• Loaf Chair — A modern armchair with a dark brown solid wood frame, light grey textured fabric cushions, and polished gold metal accents on the legs and armrests. Loaf (from the Old English hlāf: bread — a loaf of bread is the most domestic and universally human of baked forms: shaped by hand, warmed by fire, rounded at the top) — a chair named for the quality of warmth, domesticity, and comfortable proportion that defines its seating experience. The gold metal accent on the legs and armrests introduces the Art Deco material vocabulary — the same palette as the Elephas Console — into the seating category.
• Turn Away Chair — A mid-century modern accent chair with a curved dark brown solid wood frame, a cylindrical backrest, and light beige textured fabric on the seat and backrest. The cylindrical backrest is the Turn Away Chair's defining formal decision — it replaces the conventional flat or curved back panel with a true cylinder, introducing a three-dimensional form element into the chair's seating vocabulary. Turn Away — the act of rotating away from the conventional — names the chair's relationship to the mid-century modern tradition it references: it turns away from the standard armchair form at the moment of the backrest, replacing the expected with the unexpected.

The Studio Lakdoo Design Philosophy — Three Principles

Natural materials, honest construction. Every Studio Lakdoo piece is built from natural wood, natural stone (dark green marble in the Viraam and Elephas pieces), and glass — materials whose properties are visible at close range and whose quality communicates itself without requiring explanation. The studio's commitment to wooden components is not aesthetic nostalgia but a material position: solid wood (teak, in the case of the Anthill Table; solid hardwood throughout the furniture range) is the most dimensionally stable, structurally sound, and visually warm material available for furniture production at the studio scale.

Spherical and circular forms as a consistent vocabulary. The sphere, the cylinder, the circle, and the arc appear as recurring form elements across the entire collection: the globe bulbs of Sora, Mizu, Dhyan, and Orba; the cylindrical legs of the Boast Table, Soar Table, and Viraam Desk; the circular game board of Round The Edge; the concentric circles of the Calm Console; the circular door handles of the Oblong Console; the cylindrical backrest of the Turn Away Chair. This formal consistency creates the collection's internal coherence — pieces from across the Studio Lakdoo range read as a family because they share a form vocabulary as specific and recognisable as a design studio's typeface or colour palette.

Design as a life philosophy, not a profession. The studio's own description — "design goes beyond problem-solving or theoretical exploration — it's about giving objects a voice, a story, and a sense of emotion" — positions the design act as something closer to storytelling than engineering. This positions Studio Lakdoo alongside the most design-thoughtful studios in the global contemporary market (Muuto in Denmark, BDDW in New York, Piet Hein Eek in the Netherlands) — studios where the "why" of a design decision is as important as the "what."

Studio Lakdoo in Your Interior

The living room. The Round The Edge coffee table at the centre of the seating composition — a piece that invites play and social interaction rather than simply providing a surface. The Loaf Chair as an accent seat beside the sofa. The Soar Table as a side table at the sofa's flank, with the Dhyan Table Lamp on its surface. The Orba Hanging Light above the coffee table at the correct pendant hang height (75–90cm above the coffee table surface for standard 2.7m ceilings). The result is a living room composed entirely in the Studio Lakdoo spherical-and-wood vocabulary — internally coherent, materially warm, and entirely unlike any interior that assembles furniture from multiple brands. Complement with a handwoven rug in an earthy palette to ground the composition.

The entryway. The Elephas Console — with its light oak, dark green marble, and gold palette — as the first furniture object a visitor encounters. The Sora Wall Light flanking the console for wall-level ambient light. A small sculpture from the TLI collection on the marble console surface. This is the complete entryway composition — console, wall light, object — resolved in a single studio's design language.

The bedroom. The Smithy Table or Anthill Table as a bedside surface, with the Dhyan Table Lamp on its surface. The Mizu Wall Light above the bed headboard for ambient and reading light. Add a cushion in a natural fabric for the complete bedroom material composition.

The study. The Viraam Desk — with its dark green marble top — as the primary work surface. The Turn Away Chair at the desk. The Lumi Floor Lamp beside the desk for task lighting at standing height. Explore the full TLI study room collection for complementary pieces.
