Dutch Pavilion Zaragoza

08. Oktober 2007

Totems won the competition for the Dutch pavillion for the Expo in Zaragoza in 2008!
That means that Totems is doing 2 pavilions next year in Zaragoza, one for Germany and one for The Netherlands!
And that we have won the competition for the Dutch pavilion for already the second time in a row after 2005 in Japan is even more a reason for us to celebrate!!!

CONGRATULATIONS

05. Oktober 2007


Here we go: Totems Graphic Artist David married his girlfriend Elena last week! They both said YES in a very elected circle of best friends at the most beautiful and romantic location. Where? I have no idea! We wish you the very best, stay the way you are and let your love last forever! Best wishes from the Totems team and especially from the author. I mean it, by heart.

The Schmids in Zaragoza

05. Oktober 2007



Robert and Paula went to Zaragoza to inspect the shell of the German Pavilion. In addition to that they also looked at some apartments which Totems intends to rent during the production phase. Unbelievable: Theresia from Holland was in Zaragoza at the same time, to look after der Dutch Pavilion (made by Totems Holland). But both teams didn’t know about each other?! This is true communication.

Moodmanager

30. September 2007


Here they are: Birgit, Rosalia and Volker at the “Herman Miller Opening Event” in Milan. Totems was responsible for all event activities. This trio created, organized and looked after everything. The client was mega happy with the outcome; but what he appreciated most was the Totems mood-management. Work hard but never forget to smile. Do you also want some of that? Book us and you’ll find out!

The ultimate privilege

Amsterdam UITMARKT!

28. September 2007



The biggest festival of Amsterdam had a new location. And yes – it was in the middle of the Oostelijk Handelsgebied where the Totems office is located.

We had to do something with this opportunity. There we honderd thousand of people passing by. So we had to come up with a plan to attract their attention. And after our fantastic filmpreformance on the Totems weekend we came up with the idea to make an videowall that illuminates the whole riverside.

TotemsPARTY!

28. September 2007




Last Friday the new Totems office was totally transformed into the most vibrant and booming party-place-to be of Amsterdam! A live DJ, styled interior and VJ L. Zimmermann were ingredients for a legendary opening party.

The weather was also on our side and made it possible to shift the party to the waterside. The fantastic Totems Funch pored fluently and had a possitive influence on the visitors. ;-)

Although we missed our German colleagues (WHERE WERE YOU????) the atmosfere was perfect. A lot of clients, family and friends were welcomed in the new office. Up to the next party!

Watertasting

28. September 2007


There are 800 german brands who produce and sell mineral water. We’ve asked all brands to send us samples of these products so that we can exhibit the diversity of german water brands in the German Pavilion. BUT: water isn’t just water! See David testing some weirdo looking water… BEFORE…

and AFTER!
