Totemic expands at Milan Design Week
WE’re presenting a larger architectural installation, with elements reaching roughly twice the scale of the original works and featuring new cast-glass components
Treating lighting as jewelry for space, Totemic stacks luminous forms into a vertical architectural composition. It is composed of three shade forms—Moon, August and Sage—arranged as vertical elements supported by slender brass armatures finished in 22k gold, moon gold and silver leaf.
Totemic refers to stacked forms of reverence—structures that accumulate meaning as they rise.
Each shade is handmade in the studio’s Los Angeles workshop using hanji, a traditional Korean mulberry paper layered by hand to create textured surfaces with mosaic-like depth and translucency reminiscent of marble. When illuminated, the material diffuses light into a warm glow, allowing the pieces to read simultaneously as luminous objects and architectural elements.
DISCOVER TOTEMIC
Totemic FtC 8(4) combines a Totemic Pendant 4(3) and a Totemic Standing 4(1) in a single unified system- with 8 shades and 4 diamond beads.
Across cultures, totems serve as vessels of meaning—symbols of community, continuity, and transformation passed through generations. The Totemic collection reflects Andrea's decade-long exploration of craft and innovation, distilling the studio's technical and artistic strengths into a cohesive lighting system that merges traditional handwork with digital precision.
Each fixture begins as a hand-drawn sketch, translated into 3D renderings before structural elements are laser-cut or 3D-printed. Components are then assembled, sanded, and finished by hand with Korean mulberry bark paper.
Shades are available in two sizes and three forms—Moon, Sage, and August—each named to evoke quiet familiarity. Paper options: natural, soft pink watercolor wash, or custom colors.
Brass accents feature diamond-shaped beads that catch and refract light like jewelry. Brass finish options: 23k gold leaf, sterling silver leaf, or moon gold leaf.

Natural Hanji shades, silver leaf stem and diamonds
