For Milan Design Week 2022, the annual gathering of the global design industry centred around the Salone del Mobile furniture fair, we continued our collaboration with Irthi Contemporary Craft Council, an Emirati institution dedicated to preserving traditional crafts. Building on the Zenobie vase work we had done together, we transformed the forms into Totem stools, freestanding pieces that wove together Emirati Talli metallic thread weaving and our signature marquetry inlay into a single unified object. The Totems were shown in Milan as an example of what happens when two distinct craft traditions are given equal weight in the design process.
