About us

WOODEN NATURAL STYLE FURNITURE

Since 1996 Totem has been designing and producing wooden furniture. From the beginning, our research has focused on developing natural style furniture systems.

The Totem catalogue includes beds, wardrobes, bookcases, tables and chairs and children’s furniture. The same criteria apply to all our products. Our wooden furniture is characterized by the simplicity which emphasizes the properties of the material.

By natural style furniture we mean a system of components made entirely of natural materials, birch wood in our case, which are not coated, varnished or contaminated with other materials or substances of non-natural origin.

Wooden furniture, but above all ecological furniture, the result of design and technology: Totem components are computer-designed and made by laser cutting plywood panels to obtain perfectly modular interlocking parts, which can be customized according to one's wishes or needs

Made-to-measure furniture from all points of view, because our aim has always been to harmonize the beauty of nature and natural style furniture with their use.

Our goal is to involve and stimulate the customer in creating a personal habitat made of ecological furniture and custom-made furniture designed to be beautiful, comfortable, functional, light weight, durable, anti-waste. In the creation of a unique and original domestic ecosystem made of harmony and well-being.
