The Akasa is the pendant that architects specify and interior designers photograph. A clean dome of handwoven willow wicker that is simultaneously Japanese in its restraint and entirely Indian in its making — every strand woven by Genda Bai and the heritage artisans of Village Utaili, Satna, where craft is not a livelihood but a lineage. The warm light that filters through the intricate weave does not simply illuminate a room — it patterns it, casting a soft organic glow that shifts as the light outside changes through the day.
Sweet and considered on its own above a dining table or a reading nook. Genuinely dramatic when grouped in multiples over a bar counter, a kitchen island or a lobby where the layered texture of several Akasa pendants creates an atmosphere that no manufactured fitting can replicate. The black adjustable cable and matte black ceiling cap keep the hardware invisible so the weave is all anyone sees. Available in two sizes — the Small 30cm for an intimate corner and the Large 45cm for the space that deserves a more commanding presence. Zero waste, fully biodegradable and made by artisans Genda Bai herself quality-checks at every stage. As seen in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor and Condé Nast Traveller. Available exclusively on Tooffi, India's marketplace for independent brands that create with genuine craft and intention.
