introducing
A product of collaboration and curation, our new TOTEM Homeware Collection is a celebration of functional art from Africa. The collection is a celebration of community, inspired by the creativity of artists and makers around us in Cape Town, as well as in Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia. It features the work of more than 25 designer-makers, culminating in a rich ensemble of ceramics, woodwork, lighting, candles, embroidery, and more.
Launched in October 2021 with an exhibition at Union House in Cape Town,
the TOTEM Collection is now for sale from our showroom and available for wholesale orders
– just ask us and we will happily discuss it with you!
