More than a statement: a haven.

A short note on Fitzhugh Karol's Totem Bed, photographed at the Lake House before it shipped to its first owner.

Logged by Icon Design Studio

Icon Design workshop · Rochester, NY

The Totem Bed by Fitzhugh Karol is built from solid wood. No veneers. No shortcuts. The clear finish lets the grain do the work.

Every Totem Bed leaves the workshop signed and stamped at the footboard. The joinery comes apart for life: it can be flat-packed, refinished, and rebuilt by the studio in fifty years.
