Totem is a simple yet functional concept of stackable stools and a small table. It was designed for small outdoor spaces. The stools and table can easily be stacked when not in use and occupy a minimum of space. When you you need seats, simply take a stool and 4 people can sit together. Due to the simple yet striking design, the Totem also looks great when fully stacked! When combining different requirements the challenge often lies in combining these in a functional yet original way, while maintaining a good sense of comfort and beauty.
