The TOTEM Appliance Pull is our first design crafted specifically for appliances, inspired by the timeless art of Japanese Kokeshi dolls.
Echoing their layered shapes and balanced proportions, the TOTEM Pull translates this heritage into a modern, sculptural form.
A subtle nod to vintage craftsmanship, TOTEM adds both function and thoughtful design to your kitchen or living space.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Design as inquiry. Maha Alavi is a Canadian industrial designer whose practice is nomadic by nature - grounded in a sustained inquiry into how objects emerge from, respond to, and shape the environments they inhabit. Trained in philosophy and psychology, she approaches design as both intellectual and material pursuit.
Her process is shaped by travel. Berlin, Singapore, Tokyo, London - each city has sharpened her sensitivity to light, seasonality, and proportion. This sensibility anchors her inaugural hardware series, CERCLE, which reimagines foundational geometry in material form.
Every Maha Alavi piece is hand formed and finished in a family-run foundry in Northern India - cast metal objects of seamless joinery and intuitive form. Sustainability sits at the core: cradle-to-cradle manufacturing, recycled metals, small-batch production with minimal waste. Objects designed to last - and to be recycled when their life ends.
