AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A slim, vertical light composition that adds calm and rhythm to the space.

Designed by Valerio Bottin for Foscarini, the Totem is conceived as an architectural light object in which form and light are balanced.

The rare floor lamp consists of three stacked, diffusely lit elements that together form a clear and legible silhouette. Each segment filters the light evenly, creating a soft, all-around glow without direct light points.

The slender metal frame keeps the composition airy and provides a clear vertical order, while the gaps between the light elements reinforce the rhythm of the shape.

In the space, the Totem functions as an autonomous vertical light object that defines a place and visually anchors it. The lamp works in both living spaces and open interiors, where it adds atmosphere while also existing as a sculptural element.

Even when unlit, the Totem retains its clear form, thus reading as both an object and a light source.
