About Totem Collection

Dedicated to original Greek marble design, Maap presents its first bathroom collection, titled Totem. Designed by award-winning Greek designer Aristotelis Barakos, Totem is a capsule line of marble washbasins, a bathtub, mirrors, and towel racks that evoke an almost spiritual candour. Archetypal and futuristic at the same time, Maap's marble totems are designed for daily rituals of purification and wellness.

The fascinating aura of totems springs out from their spiritual symbolism and emotional power, since totems are often associated with collective memory and supernatural powers. Totems also connect us with nature, through powerful animal symbols and animistic worship. 

The Totem collection by Maap translates these profound cultural attributes into contemporary design objects for the home's most intimate space: the bathroom. Drawing from the formal simplicity and clarity of modernist art and design, the collection features innovative stackable modular column marble washbasins, that can be customised with different types of stones. Each item in the collection is entirely designed, produced, and hand-finished in Greece using locally sourced marble.
