TOTEMO stools by FORME with ivory Dedar bouclé upholstery and walnut legs.

TOTEMO are architectural stools designed and produced by FORME — a refined study in volume, balance, and material contrast. Conceived as compact yet powerful presences, they embody a language of tactile minimalism and form-led contemporary interiors. The design is defined by pure cylindrical bodies, generous and softly rounded, fully upholstered in luxurious ivory bouclé by Dedar Milano. The textured surface — rich, tactile, and subtly irregular — captures light with delicate tonal variations, enhancing the clarity of the form without ornament. With a generous diameter of 47 cm and a height of 48 cm, TOTEMO offer substantial proportions and comfort. The wider seat enhances usability, making them suitable not only as accent pieces but also as fully functional stools. The upholstered volumes rest on three sharply profiled legs crafted from solid ashwood, finished in a warm walnut stain. The three-point structure creates a precise geometric rhythm and elegant negative spaces between the supports, giving the pieces visual lightness despite their mass. The contrast between the soft bouclé and the structured wooden base establishes a dialogue between comfort and architectural precision. Balanced from every perspective, TOTEMO feel grounded yet elevated — pieces that quietly anchor a room while maintaining a strong material identity. The model is also available with legs finished in a deep mahogany tone for a richer interpretation. TOTEMO stools are fully customizable and available COM (Customer’s Own Material) upon request, allowing bespoke upholstery solutions for residential or contract projects. In the case of COM, upholstery labour cost is included in the listed price with no additional surcharge. Please allow approximately 3 additional weeks for production when selecting a custom fabric.
