The Story of Totemikaa
Totemikaa began as a quiet rebellion — a design-led experiment to craft beautiful, functional objects for those who move lightly through the world. Each piece begins as a story of place: an airport code, a fragment of architecture, a line drawn from memory. The result is a collection of artefacts that merge clarity, curiosity, and craft — built for journeys both real and imagined.
Totemikaa grew from a lifelong fascination with how we carry meaning — through form, through texture, through time. Every design is an invitation to slow down, to observe, to reconnect with the poetry of movement and place.
We call it LIVE LIGHT — a modern way of living that values simplicity, story, and substance.
What started as a small design studio between flights and sketchbooks is becoming a growing ecosystem of collections, each exploring a different dimension of travel and memory. From architectural diagrams to botanical etchings, from luggage barcodes to literary echoes, Totemikaa celebrates the beauty of thoughtful design in motion.
LIVING LIGHT | OUR ETHOS
To live light is to live with intention.
Totemikaa believes that design is not only about creating — it’s about caring. Every object is produced on demand to reduce waste, and every decision — from materials to packaging — is made with respect for people and the planet.
But LIVE LIGHT also means compassion. Each year, we are committed to give 1% of our profits to causes that help others carry their burdens more lightly — supporting mental health awareness and homelessness initiatives in the communities we call home.
We design not just for beauty, but for empathy — so that what we make leaves a lighter mark on the world.
