Totem 3

Add to Wishlist

Her work moves fluidly between architecture, ceramics and furniture, merging artisanal techniques — hand-gouged porcelain, mixed materials, sculptural woodworking — with a contemporary architect’s eye for volume and light. Every piece she designs carries the same instinct: to treat an object as a small building, considered from every angle.

Totem 3 completes the sculptural family Sophie Dries designed for the first Michel Vivien flagship store in Paris, a round stool in solid oak that closes the trio without repeating its siblings. Like Totem 1 and Totem 2, it was born from a retail commission that let the architect-designer treat furniture as small-scale architecture, built around volume and presence rather than ornament.

Finished in a golden oak tone, Totem 3 works equally well as an occasional stool or a side table, and because each piece is handmade from solid wood, its shape and shading are never quite identical to the other two totems. Together, the three pieces form a quiet trilogy, each one a distinct interpretation of the same sculptural idea.

This creation is crafted from solid wood, a natural material that naturally expands, contracts and cracks with temperature and humidity changes. Variations in grain, colour, and texture are inherent and natural. These natural changes are a sign of authenticity, and part of what makes each piece unique.
