I truly believe the secret to uplifting a desk or any small space is a lamp. I know, sounds super simplistic, but the right kind of lamp can really do wonders to a tiny space. Whether it’s your work desk, your bedside table, or a little nook in your home – adding a lamp to it can elevate it by manifolds, and add a burst of character to it. Whether you’re an extravagant soul who loves a bit of jazz and glamour or the more simple kind who prefers minimalistic designs – selecting the right lamp according to your personal taste and preference can boost not only your living space but your mood too! I’m from the latter group, and I love a minimal yet brilliantly designed lamp. And, the Bell Lamp by Seiki Ishii seems to tick all the checkboxes for me.

“This mobile light was designed with the functionality of Japanese lanterns as a motif, in the hope of creating a light that connects the inside and outside of the house,” said Seiki Design Studio.

Japanese designer Seiki Ishii designed the Bell Lamp for the Seiki Design Studio. Created from recycled glass, it can be used as a floor lamp, table lamp, or wall-mounted light. What instantly grabs my attention is the adorable bell-shaped lampshade, which has been topped with a bright blue loop. The little loop can be used to place the lamp on a wall-mounted hook or floor stand. Or you can switch the lampshade to a tabletop stand as well.

“It can be carried around, hung, or stood up, and fits the situation where you want to illuminate everything from your hand to the space around you,” said Seiki Design Studio.

The Bell Lamp is an extremely versatile lighting design that you can place anywhere in your home or office, depending on your need or requirement. It’s lightweight, minimal, and modular – providing immense utility in its tiny form.

Want to bring the evenly cooked smoked flavors of delicious barbeque grilled food to your porch or apartment balcony with a bit of style? The BBQ&co Grill makes that possible with a unique design that unites cultures in the current uncertain times.

The pandemic has taught us a lot about keeping ourselves entertained indoors with our digital devices, but things can get boring after a while constantly staring at the screen. Casual leisure in the cozy confines of the home is now much more than just scrolling through the social network feed or DIY projects – it is more about resurrecting outdoor leisure with ease. SEIKI DESIGN STUDIO, a Kyoto-based product design studio’s refreshing barbeque grill design is a budding image of this new lifestyle prompted by the COVID-19 restrictions.

The lead designer of the project, Seiki Ishii closely analyzed the dynamics of city living without compromising on the cooking of mouthwatering rotisserie, churrasco steak, or grilling the fresh salmon sushi from the market. This cross-cultural cooking space results in an elegant and compact BBQ grill that brings home the style of Spanish and Brazilian BBQ grilling. One that is dominated by wood burnt in the chimney to create a constant fire for the most evenly cooked delicacies.

Seiki’s prime focus for the BBQ grill’s design is on the relationship between the host and the guest – wherein the person cooking the food can communicate with the guest while still concentrating on the immaculate grilling process. Called the BBQ&co Grill, this minimalist barbeque grill comes with an accompanying baking table that can be customized as per the cooking needs. Continuous and even cooking is the highlighting USP of this wood-fired grill which is further honed by its ultra-modern design perfect for urban homes.
