Totemic is a collection of handcrafted sculptural lighting that is both approachable and poetic: lighthearted, yet full of meaning. Designed to evoke a subtle sense of wonder, Totemic feels familiar yet elusive — something to be felt rather than explained. 

Inspired by the symbolic language of totems and the intimacy of jewelry, Totemic treats lighting as an object of emotional resonance — a sculptural form that carries story, memory, and intention. 

This collection marks a culmination of over a decade of experimentation and continues the studio’s commitment to modular, customizable systems.

The collection includes pendant, floor, and table lamps. Each shade is crafted from Hanji — Korean mulberry paper — hand-layered using a proprietary technique that creates a marble-like effect unique to the studio. Shades are paired with a brass armature finished in 22k gold leaf, 22k moon gold leaf, or silver leaf. The palette remains minimal and elemental: natural colored paper or with a watercolored in warm, diffused pink. 

Modular by design, Totemic offers transformation and versatility. Shades are available in two sizes and three sculptural silhouettes — Moon, Sage, and August — each name suggesting familiarity, memory, and open-ended symbolism.
