transience by design – the seed pod analogy.
a funeral urn made of natural lehm and natural fibers, which provides the essence it contains with a geometric & biomimetic structure of security to facilitate its journey through the cycle of life. a possible design that seeks to respect transience as a systemic concept and lends a certain poetry to the act of disappearing. lehm is perhaps the most honest material for this purpose, precisely because it does not seek to cement eternity and can thus contribute to an aesthetic transcendence.
FAQ
Is raw clay (lehm) really stable enough as a material for urns?
The finest components of clays have binding power also when raw and unfired and they are additionally stabilized with fibers from wood, straw, and, if necessary, a natural binding agent based on starch or cellulose.
Can I also store the urn at home?
When dry, these urns are durable and have an unlimited shelf life.
Are these urns waterproof?
Most models are protected from short-term moisture by a thin layer of carnauba wax and can withstand a short rain shower, for example, but in general, these urns must be protected from moisture if their surface and shape are to be fully preserved.
How long does it take for this raw clay urn to decompose in the ground?
Through constant contact with water or soil moisture, this urn loses its shape within a few days and becomes part of what clay was before—the natural inorganic component of soil.
