Evocative Sculptural Lighting
Designed and Hand-Finished in London
MESEME is a London-based design and manufacturing studio led by designer-maker Riya Panchal, creating atmospheric sculptural lighting that balances expressive form with refined craftsmanship.
Our lighting designs are guided by modular thinking and material exploration, allowing each piece to be adapted in scale, finish and configuration to suit its space. Crafted through close collaboration with artisans and a deep sensitivity to materiality, process and colour, each piece is designed to feel both sculptural and purposeful, lighting that shapes space as much as form.
The Poetic Interplay of Light, Form & Material
Our collections, both self-directed and collaborative are shaped through a dialogue between material, form and light. Each made-to-order piece reflects a commitment to craft, longevity and thoughtful production, developed through close collaboration with artisans and makers.
Designed, handcrafted and assembled in our London-based studio, each fixture balances sculptural presence with functional clarity, creating lighting that feels considered, tactile and alive in space.
