In the world of home decor, few pieces make as bold yet refined a statement as our Totem Noir Collection. These striking vases represent the perfect marriage of contemporary design and artisanal craftsmanship, and today we're excited to share the story behind one of our most popular collections.
Design Inspiration
The Totem Noir Collection draws inspiration from ancient totem poles and modern sculptural art. Each piece features a distinctive stacked, geometric form that creates visual interest from every angle. The deep black finish provides a dramatic backdrop that allows the sculptural qualities of the design to truly shine.
We wanted to create pieces that function as both vessels and standalone art objects—something that would elevate a space even when not holding flowers or greenery.
The Collection
The Totem Noir line includes four distinct pieces, each offering unique proportions and styling possibilities:
Totem Noir Tall Vase
Our statement piece, this tall vase commands attention with its impressive height and bold geometric segments. Perfect for dramatic floral arrangements or as a standalone sculptural element in entryways or living spaces.
Totem Noir Short Vase
All the visual impact of the tall version in a more compact form. Ideal for tabletops, shelving, or creating grouped arrangements with multiple pieces.
Totem Noir Tall Vase - Narrow Neck
Featuring a slender opening, this variation is perfect for single-stem arrangements or minimalist floral displays. The narrow neck creates an elegant silhouette that emphasizes vertical lines.
Totem Noir Short Vase - Narrow Neck
The most versatile piece in the collection, this compact vase with a narrow opening works beautifully in intimate spaces, on desks, or as part of a curated vignette.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Each Totem Noir vase is handcrafted using premium materials and finished with a matte black coating that's both durable and sophisticated. The geometric segments are precisely formed and assembled, creating clean lines and satisfying proportions.
The matte finish not only looks stunning but is also practical—it resists fingerprints and maintains its appearance with minimal maintenance.
Styling Your Totem Noir Pieces
The beauty of the Totem Noir Collection lies in its versatility. Here are some of our favorite styling approaches:
Minimalist Modern: Let a single tall vase stand alone against a white wall or on a simple console table. The stark contrast creates immediate visual impact.
Grouped Display: Combine multiple pieces from the collection at varying heights to create a dynamic sculptural arrangement. Mix the narrow and wide neck versions for added interest.
Natural Contrast: Pair the deep black finish with organic elements—dried pampas grass, eucalyptus branches, or simple green foliage. The contrast between the geometric form and natural materials is striking.
Monochromatic Elegance: Style with white or cream flowers for a classic, sophisticated look that never goes out of style.
