Climb up for design

Bandra has a new gallery space, Upstairs, which is founded by actress-product designer Lekha Washington. Located at Ranwar village, the design hub displays her latest furniture and sculpture creations plus, will soon host events as well
The next time you are in Bandra, head to the quirky design space, Upstairs. The place gets its name courtesy its location -- on the first floor of a 150-year-old bungalow.
Inside are several of its founder Lekha Washington’s products including The Pink Sink -- a patented storage-friendly chair that seems flat-surfaced until you sink into it comfortably and The Drop -- a swing-like chair, which can be hung from a fan-hook, uses Sink mechanics and can be custom-built according to your space. Also, on display is a square-shaped chair with plush cushioning called The Squair Chair along with The Dot, a chair resembling a bindi, which can be deceptively hinged on the wall and only becomes a chair once you sit on it. You can also spot some of Washington’s latest sculptures here and The Bent light collection (a work in progress, it is a set of dramatic and flexible lights).
