À propos de la pièce

The Totem Lamp embodies the perfect blend of artisanal heritage and refined design. Designed by Aurélie Richard, it transforms every interior into a personal gallery where light becomes sculpture.

This table lamp combines contemporary sophistication with French savoir-faire. Its glossy white and matte white earthenware base creates a captivating visual contrast, while the ivory linen lampshade rests on a visible metal frame—a detail that asserts its character as an exceptional piece. Standing 64 cm tall, the Totem Lamp is a decorative object in its own right, capable of structuring a space with elegance. Each piece benefits from the technical finesse of French manufacturing, where material and light subtly interact.

The Charolles 1844 brand

Founded in 1844 in Charolles, Saône-et-Loire, the factory is rooted in centuries of ceramic tradition. Born from the clay-rich soil of the Charolais region, it has forged its identity by combining ancestral techniques with contemporary creativity. Today, Charolles 1844 perpetuates this heritage by collaborating with talented designers like Aurélie Richard, creating lighting and objects that redefine the French art of living.

The Totem Lamp reveals the technical mastery of the manufacturer. Its molded earthenware base combines two finishes—glossy and matte—creating a subtle play of light. The ivory linen lampshade, mounted on a visible metal frame, offers soft, enveloping light diffusion. Dimensions: height 640 mm, width 360 mm. This hybrid construction—ceramic and textile, craftsmanship and design—testifies to the Charolles philosophy: transforming material into functional poetry.

Whether in the living room or bedroom, the Totem Lamp creates a timeless ambiance. The glossy white/matte white complements minimalist interiors as well as warmer decors. Placed on an entrance console, it becomes a welcoming feature; near an armchair, it creates an exceptional reading nook. Its refined design enhances understated spaces while enriching richly furnished environments. Above all, it is a statement piece, asserting aesthetic singularity and a commitment to quality.

Choose the Totem Lamp and incorporate an exceptional creation into your interior. A rare French signature that unites manufacturing history and modernity.
