Totem is a striking fusion of Mariví Calvo and Burkhard Dämmer’s creative vision, born from the union of Dämmer’s Pod and Poppy pendants. Its sculptural form evokes the reverence of sacred objects found across cultures, radiating both physical grandeur and spiritual warmth. Available in three stacked variations, Totem’s wood veneer strips allow soft light to filter through, creating a dynamic interplay of shadow and glow. More than a pendant, Totem embodies balance, symbolism, and the timeless dialogue between art and illumination.
LZF Lamps, founded in 1994 near Valencia by Mariví Calvo and Sandro Tothill, pioneered “enveloping light” in wood veneer. Today, the brand crafts sculptural, sustainable designs that blend artistry and warmth, celebrated worldwide.
