Salone del mobile 2006 [Milano] > Design Academy Eindhoven: Design For The Hereafter
Thursday, 6. April 2006, 09:33:08
Although the subject might not be an attractive one, it’s worth taking a look at the projects by students of Li Edelkoort who this year have thought about the notion of life and death, funeral rites and memorial ceremonies. Cardboard urns (Lesley van Berkel), votive jewels (Marieke Blaauw), designer fonts (Hiromi Watanabe) and technological altars (Lonneke Gordijn) the young students from the Design Academy in Eindhoven show how uses and traditions for funerals are changing in the western world.

Maybe you can correct the little mistake on your page, the jewels, called 'porte-memoire' are a design by Susanne Happle (not Marieke Blaauw). Thank you
