OBJECT/PRODUCT DESIGN - PORCELAIN
A porcelain memory capsule that allows for the unique preservation of keepsakes from a beloved person.
Its contents can be chosen by the dying individual, assisted by an death doula, or collected by loved ones after their passing.
MEMORIA serves as a vessel of past moments and an expression of respect for the deceased, aiding in the mourning process and helping to find a personal way to cope with loss. This memory box allows for an individual experience of grief, as a continuation of love and the maintenance of an inner connection with the departed.
The elegant form of MEMORIA seamlessly fits into any interior, acting as a subtle decorative element. Each capsule is a blend of porcelain and natural materials such as wood, stone, or amber, which symbolically capture the passage of time. The porcelain box, shaped like a bowl tapering towards the base, gives an impression of lightness, highlighting the fleeting and fragile nature of the memories it holds.
