The acclaimed series “Totems Over Time” by klove studio will have a selection of glowing sculptures on display this fall at Salon Art + Design, which runs from November 10 to 14 in New York.

The stunning constructions in the Totems Over Time collection are brought to life with the use of glass, metal, and gold to create a sequence of installations that span a century. The items are handmade artistically to reinterpret historic symbols with social and religious importance. Each Totem incorporates art deco-inspired shapes and crisp lines while also conjuring up indigenous symbolism and patterns. In this collection, Prateek and Gautam reinvent historical power symbols to create fresh interpretations of the sacred. They make references to the existence of an ambiguous deity, one that stands for spirituality in modern times.

Gautam Seth and Prateek Jain create things with meaning. Klove Studio was created in 2005 as a result of a desire to investigate the relationship between glass, light, and craftsmanship. For more than 15 years, the New Delhi-based duo has been creating lit sculptures for Indian homes and businesses.

According to Gautam Seth, co-founder and designer of klove studio, “Totem Over Time entirely absorbs the space in which it is situated, leaving a lasting and profound impression on everyone who encounters it”.

According to Prateek Jain, cofounder, and designer of klove studio, “We think that our collection attempts to constantly explore the bonds that unite humanity through approaches that deepen our involvement with our senses.”

The Salon Art + Design exhibits the latest trends in collectible design and hosts renowned art and design galleries from around the globe. The area showcases the best designs from all around the world, including classic, contemporary, and modern items that are complemented by high-end works of art from the 20th century.
