The TOTEM is an upright sculpture with storage. This structural Oak beam dating from the 1860s was salvaged from a historic Bed-Sty brownstone and features hand-hewn adze marks and hand-cut mortises. The TOTEM has 13 circular drawers that were hand-turned from shop cut-offs of walnut and sapele. As seen in images TOTEM is sprayed white, also available immediately in charred black finish measuring 8" W x 8" D x 98" H. This is a bespoke piece so custom dimensions, materials, colors and finishes (both interior and exterior) can be accommodated. Please inquire for pricing.
