TOTUM Women's

At Totum Project, we believe in making a conscious choice to bring the natural world into our homes, bodies, and persona through design pieces created with care, integrity and mystery. We design without the boundaries of an inner and outer world and focus on the dialogue we can create between the two.

Our intimate spaces, what we sleep in and what we wear are all second skins that, when created carefully with respect for certain values, can contribute to our quality of life and daily experiences.

To create meaningful and beautiful things, we must look at the quality of the “materia”, or the ingredients that make up that object. We firmly believe in returning to the origins of natural fibres and materials and using them in their purest form. The imperfections intrinsic to natural elements allow things to be unique and ultimately communicate emotion and sensation.
We celebrate the imperfect forms made by nature and seek to recreate this through our weaving of textiles, careful selection of materials, dyeing and finishing.

Our Design Studio is based in Tuscany, Italy. This is where we combine together the minimal and introspective DNA of our designer Ria Dunn with the incredible know-how of artisans and producers of the local area. We believe these relationships need to be nurtured. By being open to the craftsman, the designer can go deeper in exploring the creative process. This partnership is critical in how we work. We have almost two decades of experience and have a network of passionate, dedicated people working with us to create our unique pieces.

Totum is also working on creating a network of global artisans where we can research, design and discover other cultures throughout the world.
