Designing Death is an ongoing research project exploring the design of death through objects, spaces and things, past and present. Case studies and observations are shared via Instagram @designing_death.
From top to bottom: zip-up coffins you would “want to be seen dead in” by Visser & Meijwaard with photography by Kevin Rijnders, the Reform project led by Katrina Spade with a facility designed by architects Olson Kundig, and Capsula Mundi – a biodegradable urn that turns remains into food for trees designed by Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel, image courtsey of the designers.
