A interior collection celebrating the timeless bond between humanity, nature, and history. Designed for the Layers of Time exhibition at the Royal Dutch Palace, each wall necklace and totem is handcrafted using materials sourced from the estate’s gardens and forests. Wooden and porcelain beads create a link between past and present, honoring ancient traditions while highlighting the estate’s natural treasures.

Customised handmade totem 
Merging Matter can make a totem on request of local materials of your surrounding. Think of objects handmade of local trees and clay that makes a connection with your land. Please contact us for more information.
