The dictionary definition of a totem is an iconic piece or a special symbol, to which spiritual significance is attached.
Sancal’s new Totem maintains the ancient symbolism of an icon that transmits balance and creativity.
But what is it really?
It is a sophisticated bar stool and range of tables, the first collaboration of Sylvain Willenz with the Spanish firm. Totem’s sculptural curves are surprising, transcending its function to become a decorative object.
After the stool, the evolution of Totem towards a versatile family of tables and occasional tables was logical. The variety of heights and diameters available extend their functionality and allows them to be used for such diverse uses as: coffee or bedside table, dining table, high cocktail table and even medium height gathering table, which can be accompanied by soft lounge chairs.
