LIGHT IN SHINING AMOUR

Rich craftsmans­hip and an unparallel­ed legacy makes India unique and Keerthi Tummala proud. But, when she went hunting for quality-driven, designer furniture and lighting, she was disappoint­ed. “Unwilling to settle, I made it my mission to build a lifestyle brand that is made in India, but caters to a global audience,” she says. That was in 2018, when she founded Sage Living, where high-end lights steal the show.

Old meets new Indian influence plays a major role in her design. “Take for instance, the Eden chandelier­s and lamps; they are inspired by traditiona­l bell metal casting techniques that have been used for centuries in India,” she says.

Metal Musing One of Tummala’s favourites is the Spindle light that is suspended with a thin metal structure. “The play of half-dome shade and trajectory generates a balanced design of gravitatio­nal dynamics,” she says.

Post-Pandemic Trend “Sustainabl­e lighting with the use of natural mediums such as rattan, jute, wooden beads, and cane are trending post-pandemic,” says Tummala.
