New Beginnings · One of a kind
Tótem
The solidity of the past in contemporary design. A vertical vessel of cylindrical presence and stony texture, with a pattern of engraved concentric circles and two architectural handles.
A modern vestige sculpted in paper. Tótem defies the visual lightness of papier-mâché to appear with the fullness of ancient stone. Meticulously shaped by hand, its elongated, stylised silhouette becomes a three-dimensional canvas covered by a hypnotic low-relief pattern of rings.
Its two side handles of straight, geometric lines add a subtle structural contrast, balancing primitive forms with an avant-garde design. In ash-grey tones and porous textures that imitate mineral wear, it stands as an imposing sculpture that tells stories of distant civilisations.
