‘totem’ by officina41

‘totem’ is a modular furniture system designed by italian design group officina41 and produced by italian manufacturer talin. created to be customized, the multipurpose shelving unit features steel elements that can be placed flat at 90° or sloped to 45°. accessories in various colors and wooden finishes also enable its simple design to be personalized for public or private use: it can be adapted to a range of functions, from display stands in offices to domestic walk-in closets.

using a minimum number of elements for the greatest flexibility, ‘totem’ allows both easy assembly and flatpack storage. it considers the environment in its construction as well, using 100% recyclable materials and non-toxic paints.
