subject: Foscarini Totem : Minimal Elegance [print this page] We find crazy lighting, elegant lighting and impractical lighting being created and manufactured for the sake of collaboration and artistic appeal but of course design studios in lighting fixtures like Foscarini know that sensible lighting is still one of the top contenders in the main market. That is the reason why it is very important to take designing into a whole new level of design and flair while keeping the practical sensibilities intact. It is not bad to be creative and to create amazing designs but it is also important to be aware of what will sell and what will not sell. The Foscarini Totem is definite seller in their showrooms!
The elegant structure
Using references and inspirations can sometimes lead to insane designs. Sometimes it becomes underwhelming. Other times it just leaves us with a little bit of quirk to keep us interested by the amazing design. Foscarini Totem provides that little bit of quirk with the structure based loosely on the Totem poles. The Foscarini Totem are floor lamps made of 3 lights that are made of polyethylene that has a satin finish to add a little bit of elegant effect. The 3 lights are positioned evenly vertically and are secured by 3 metallic foundations that are lacquered and angled at the bottom to make the Foscarini Totem sturdy.
The appeal on space
When you put the Foscarini Totem on a room, it quickly becomes part of the space. It does not aim to overpower, rather, it tries to bind together with the aesthetics of the space to give a little bit of glamor and drama to the room. You can use the 3 lights independently to give it body, perfectly desirable finish ambient appeal. Use any of the three lights and the varying layers will create an amazing appeal. If you use the Foscarini Totem with all three lights open, you will surely love the overall effect of the fixture.
In the end
The Foscarini Totem is a subtle and versatile piece of light that captures ambience, energy versatility and a little bit of quirk and curiosity. The design of the Foscarini Totem is undeniably stylish with a minimalist flair and it certainly has all the needed flair and appeal that any homeowner will love.
