Made by Kettal

Designed by Doshi Levien

Bela begins with a memory: the enormous spinning frames wound with colorful kite string that line Indian streets during the annual kite festival. Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien translated those light wooden structures into a lamp form, a spool-like armature onto which a continuous length of rope is clipped in loops that echo the texture and weightlessness of traditional handwoven lanterns.

Color is intrinsic to the design, not applied as an afterthought. The rope's winding rhythm gives the lamp its particular quality of filtered light, casting warmth through geometry rather than through shade or diffuser. The result carries cultural specificity without illustration.

Bela adapts with equal ease to the floor, suspended overhead, or used as a standing lamp. Designed for Kettal, it is equally at home in interior settings and outdoor environments, a quality that speaks to Kettal's longstanding commitment to materials that endure across conditions.

What is the Bela Lamp made of?
