Useful Totem: presented with the Material Matters Bookshop
Useful Totem creates distinctive objects that bring together material experimentation, craftsmanship and a playful approach to everyday design. Its work explores the relationship between form, function and material, often transforming familiar objects and materials into unexpected sculptural forms. The resulting pieces have a strong visual character while retaining a sense of purpose and usability.
At the London fair, Useful Totem will style the Material Matters Bookshop, bringing its distinctive approach to the wider bookshop environment. Alongside the curated selection of books, it will exhibit a collection of playful, material-led objects, including sculptural pieces combining glass and wood, demonstrating the studio’s interest in unexpected combinations of materials, colour and form.
