Tianna Williams is the Editorial Executive at Wallpaper*. Before joining the team in 2023, Williams taught scuba diving for three years before heading into journalism.

‘African heritage is full of amazing art and tradition that I wanted to explore and celebrate with others,’ said former NFL star and Studio Kër founder Michael Bennett, on the inspiration behind his latest collaboration with lighting and digital manufacturing studio Gantri. ‘I got glimpses of it from my grandmother while growing up in Louisiana, and ever since, I’ve been drawn to designs that capture the spirit and strength of those who came before me.

Gantri and Studio Kër introduce the ‘Ursa Minor Table Light’. Drawing inspiration from Bennet's own ancestral ties to Senegal, the table reflects the Little Dipper constellation which contains the North Star, a guiding light for the many slaves who escaped the South, as well as countless others throughout history. A symbol of freedom and unity. ‘It's always been more than just a constellation to me—it's a path through darkness, a gathering point and sign of hope,’ says Bennett.
