repetition as purity · simplicity as devotion · geometry as calm

Defining Moment:

Fall 2022 — Nordic restraint crystallized into system; ritual became style

Toteme

(

2014 – present

)

toh-tehm

Toteme builds its universe from repetition and rhythm.

Coats hang like architectural planes; stripes and grids repeat until order becomes serenity.

It offers simplicity as devotion — a life composed of measured gestures.

Structural Focus

Reduction with Atmosphere

Form is reduced without becoming cold or purely rational. Minimal means are used to produce calm, resonance, or emotional density.

In Toteme’s work, this approach appears where neutrality structures wardrobe systems.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form is constructed around the body through material, proportion, and movement.

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Femininity as structure

Texture as language

In Dialogue

Silence as luxury

Balance as rhythm
