Totems

Totems is a collection of modular tables conceived by the swiss design studio, Allegory Studio.

In an era where spaces are always smaller, at a time when humans are more mobile and a Wi-Fi wired laptop allows one to work from anywhere, the reflection towards spatial modularity and furniture conception is now more then never to be considered. How can a same space and its furniture meet different spatial/functional expectations? How can furniture constantly adapt itself to new environments?

Totems is composed of 3 types of elements: carrara stackable marble stools which allow to define different table foot heights. Various diameters of veneered oak plates allow to define the table- radius. Eventually, pushed and anodised aluminium accessories are inserted in the enter of the wood plates, they specify the table’s function and allow to finish the object by holding both the foot and the plate together.
