Totem No. 2
About Our Materials for Home
Polymer Clay
Lightweight yet durable, polymer clay is our material of choice for sculptural detail. This material's application in the fine art world has grown since it's debut in the 1930s, when it was created by doll maker Kathe Kruse. Its versatility allows for intricate textures and bold, modern forms that retain their vibrancy over time. Each piece is cured and finished by hand, ensuring a one-of-a-kind presence in your home - you may see Jen's thumbprints in these bits if you look close enough! Often used for the hand-formed chain links she creates.
Organic cotton
Minimal, evocative, and naturally hypoallergenic, our organic cotton is a cut above conventional cotton. Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, it’s better for the earth and a pleasure to live with. Strong yet supple, it's durable and takes on a variety of textures across canvas, rope, and raw formats.
Hardwood
Used in our handsome wall pegs, hardwood is chosen for its strength, durability, and refined grain. Designed to support and showcase, this hardware is simple to mount, providing a sculptural element while seamlessly integrating with the rest of your space.
Metallic Leather
A luminous accent woven into select pieces, metallic leather adds a subtle sheen and soft depth. Tanned and treated for durability, it catches the light just enough to elevate without overpowering—balancing texture, flexibility, and a refined finish.

Measuring 12 inches wide by 36 inches long, it comes with a 3-inch natural wood wall peg and hardware for easy installation. Made to order in Brooklyn, NY, with a 7-day production time, it’s a sculptural statement of artistry and craftsmanship.
