Totem Appliances Assembly System

Totem

Totem is a modular vertical kitchen system. Each module can house an oven, an extractor hood, a refrigerator, a hob, a counter top, a sink, a coffee machine, a dishwasher or storage. The modules are stacked and joined by structural and electrical connections, so the appliances can be used on one, two, three or four sides. Every container element measures 650 mm in width and 650 mm in depth, with a height that varies with the function housed. Where a drain connection is not needed, Totem can furnish offices, canteens or small flats.

Totem Appliances Assembly System by Andrea Cingoli was selected as an exceptional illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Totem Appliances Assembly System received the Iron A' Design Award in Kitchen Furniture, Equipment and Fixtures Design in 2022. The A' Kitchen Furniture, Equipment and Fixtures Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design competition which recognizes outstanding design of cabinets, countertops, islands, pantries, tables, chairs, bar stools, sinks and more.
