Totem Studio

Totem Studio All are rooted in the primeval soil of play.”
Huizinga, J. (2016). Homoludens. Angelico Press. This excerpt from the book ‘Homo Ludens’ by Huizinga J.

We create playful Totems for kids and kids hiding inside grown-ups, blending design with traditional craft, bringing serenity of childhood play into everyday life. “Primitive society performs its sacred rites, its sacrifices, consecrations, and mysteries, all of which serve to guarantee the well-being of the world, in a spirit of pure play truly understood. Now in myth and ritual, the great instin

ctive forces of civilized life have their origin: law and order, commerce and profit, craft and art, poetry, wisdom, and science. best describes our name - Totem Studio. We are a team of Architects, Designers, and Engineers passionate about the concept of `Play` and `Playfulness.' At Totem, We explore this concept beyond the boundaries of toys and games for kids and explore design possibilities for a `playful every day for all.`

Our definition of Play - Create your own `magic circle,` redefine rules that instill a sense of exploration, enhancing your everyday experiences of fun & joy. Our Totems - Objects that define your `magic circle,` helping you transcend reality to create a world of your imagination. Contemporary objects, handcrafted using traditional techniques, nudging you to explore and define your reality. Our process of design and production is focused on orienting the traditional craft/production techniques to contemporary forms and functions, keeping the crafts relevant for current and future generations.

Nobody likes being told what todo.
Yet somehow - children are given constant instructions. Even toys come with step by step instructions leading to outcome.

What if instead of instructions - we gave a constraint?

Do what you want, make what you want, with one or a set of constraints - simple enough to make them play freely and yet explore, imagine and create in their own wonderful way.

More soon. Stay tuned.

First glimpses of something we've been quietly building.
We are excited and. A little nervous too 🤩😍

These images are more than just pretty toys - they are a peek into the hidden layer of thought behind every design.

Every toy we are creating asks nothing of a child.
Just SPACE.

Space to wonder if bees sleep. Space where they can have dinner with dinosaur.

We do not believe in toys that give instructions, ask questions or provide readymade answers.
They let a child's mind do what it does the best

Imagine - Explore - Create - Break - Repeat

This is just a beginning. A lot and lot more to come.

Have a "Playful Everyday"

What does your child (or your inner child) wonder about? Write in the comments.

March-ing forward…
As we get closer to the final shaping of our new Totems, we’re taking a moment to share glimpses from the journey—raw forms, evolving details, and the energy that’s been building all through March.
More soon. Stay tuned.

Seeing something in nothing. If you ever saw something in clouds, in a foliage of trees, in flowing water, or in a wooden block, you would know how joyful it is to imagine something in nothing.

Kids are best at it and then in the race of growing up, we stop seeing that 'nothing' altogether.

And sometimes, we obstruct a child's imagination by 'correcting' them to imagine something that is not there for us.

Let them (and us) Imagine - Explore - Create.

And 'Have a Playful Everyday'

28/03/2026

We live in a world where answers come easy. But are the easy answers making us think deeper or narrowing how we explore?

Creative thinking is the most natural way of thinking. Yet, while growing up, linear paths begin to take over.

So we design something different - to nurture the ability to imagine, explore, observe, create and also to break.

Have a Playful Everyday.
