Klove — a lighting brand from India, really knocks it out of the park with its illuminated totem collection. The capsule consists of ten pieces that effortlessly fuse tribal references with the sensibilities of the art deco movement. The result is a series of majestic structures that have an extravagantly ornate presence and that will be sure to capture the attention as a centerpiece to any space.

The illuminated totems are envisioned by contemporary lighting designers Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth. The creatives utilized metal and glass to achieve a striking effect. The objects are infused with "social and sacred significance for indigenous cultures" as Klove attempted the collection to be "a nod to an unidentified deity."
