Going Global: Rest in Peace, as a Tree (Barcelona, Spain)

Urna Bios gives the idea of ‘putting down roots’ a whole different meaning. This company constructs urns made of coconut shell, peat, and cellulose. They contain a person’s cremated remains, and a seed. The ashes serve as nutrients, and life springs forth. This idea was sprouted by a design studio, Estudimoline, that believe design and nature can change the world. Now, they are converting the “end of life” into a transformation and a return to life through nature.
