‘Totem’ is a sensuous round table carved in travertino, inspired by the sacredness of original totems, where symbolism and ritual merged to honor togetherness and gratitude. In ‘Totem’, a travertine surface is elevated on a slender pillar of interlocking geometric volumes. Both strong and fluid, it transforms stone into a form that is at once monolithic and also plastic, celebrating balance and elegance.________________________________________What makes it unique:In African cultures, totems during meals were used to appreciate the one who prepared or brought food. Here this spirit of reverence is reinterpreted in stone. Its sculptural geometry—an elegant round top balanced on a column of softened, interlocking forms—creates a visual dialogue between strength and delicacy. The surface, refined with on entropy’s unique pore-filling recipe, makes the material both durable and discreetly expressive, revealing the beauty of travertine while ensuring practicality. Offered in a range of marble and travertine colors and customizable in scale, Totem transforms a functional table into a meaningful centerpiece that carries cultural symbolism into contemporary living.________________________________________Visualizing it in your space:‘Totem’ exudes a sense of ritual and gathering. It comfortably accommodates four people, making it ideal for intimate meals, conversations, or shared rituals. It can be customised as a bigger dining table, where it becomes a sculptural focal point where people come together. As an entrance table, it anchors the space with a sense of gravitas and elegance. The slender pillar creates a visual lightness, giving the impression that the top floats on geometry, an interplay between weight and delicacy that enhances the atmosphere of the room.________________________________________Background & Identity:At on entropy, design is conceived as a dialogue between tradition and transformation. With ‘Totem’, spiritual symbolism becomes a design language, turning stone into a medium of gathering and gratitude. Each piece is crafted in our Athens-based studio by artisans whose skill redefines marble and travertine as plastic, smooth, and sensuous. Through this process, a future for ancient stone artistry is cultivated, honoring the cultural legacy of the material while reinventing its place within contemporary design.________________________________________Why it’s worth the price:The stone’s natural pores are refined with an innovative formula, ensuring a surface that is both durable and tactile, while still revealing the discreet beauty of its texture. Beyond its function as a table, ‘Totem’ carries cultural resonance, embedding rituals of gratitude into everyday life. Its seamless geometry and hand-finished detailing require mastery, the result of a dialogue between designers and marble sculptors, where craftsmanship ensures not only elegance but also enduring value.________________________________________Technical Details:•Material: Red travertine (available in white, green, and black marble as well as beige, brown, and grey travertine)•Function: Sculptural dining table, entrance table•For Custom lengths and finishes please contact the seller •Made in Athens, Greece
