A new year has begun, corresponding to the new season I need to design. I look at these blank pages before me and cannot help but reflect on the past year. It’s an opportunity to clear the mind, reconcile and manifest for the things you want to create.
With Totum,
I want to share with you my intentions for this new year.
I want to bring you authentic quality through unique items that can change the feeling in a room and how you feel just by interacting with it.
I want you to feel yourself and that in your private chosen spaces, you can feel your most natural, your most sacred self.
I want to bring you security by creating pieces that are so reliable they become your favourites.
I want to bring you the emotion lost in the many things proposed by our impersonal and over-industrialized world.
This year we live authentically, true to ourselves, and uncompromising.
Thank you for starting this new year with us. I wish you health, authenticity, and a lot of connection.

Totum’s textiles collections are designed from scratch and made from 100% naturally sourced materials. Created exclusively with Italian artisan weavers and producers who share the same desire to celebrate craft while ensuring practices that cause as little harm as possible to the environment.
Seasonless collections made of exclusive textiles, Totum Project’s first available creations consist of a made-to-order heritage bed sheet collection, oversized bed covers and blankets; as well as a limited run of distressed Velvet pillows and throws, extra-large fine Linen and Cotton towels, Cashmere and Hemp wearable blankets.
“Throughout my life and work as a designer, I have discovered that there are no boundaries between our inner and outer worlds.” - Ria Dunn
Totum Project is committed to providing consumers with beautifully designed products that embrace the natural imperfections of the “materia” in dye-less colourways and follow fair and responsible production practices. This way, Totum hopes to help people reconnect with their surroundings, live in healthier environments, and curate spaces that express their values and creativity.
Dunn designs through the nostalgic futurist’s perspective. This person looks to the future to create new, positive worlds by bringing the values and memories of the past. Totum’s collections strive to strike a balance between history, values of the terroir, and a modern and minimalistic interpretation of the natural world.
