TOTEM
an evocative interplay of shapes, lines, and materials, Poggioli’s totem series is radical, sensitive, and plastic, drawing on iconic movements in art and design history. It reflects the stark influence of American minimalism and the rational, modernist vision of 1930s architecture, which Poggioli channels with purity of form, clean lines, and the expressive use of materials in the twelve meticulously crafted works. With curves and arcs that are not merely decorative but essential, tactile, and sensual, each work strikes an exquisite balance between poggioli’s innovative technique and expressive power, blending Sobriety, efficiency of lines, and sculptural intention
At his atelier in Milan, Poggioli has carefully chosen and crafted unique fine materials to bring to life this sculptural, functional, and timeless collection. For the first time, He employs silver using a technique developed exclusively for this series, imbuing key pieces with luminosity, preciousness, and rarity. The seats, adorned with cylindrical leather backrests and armrests, showcase an exquisite attention to detail through refined stitching. Ceppo di gré gray stone and devitalized solid oak provide accents that contribute to the collection’s expressivity, warmth, and restrained opulence
achieving a masterful balance of moderation and sophistication, Each work in the Totem series is a testament to the poggioli’s ability to infuse modern design with historical resonance, creating a singular world that is both contemporary and timeless
