The leaves coffin is made from new composite material, a collection of fallen leaves and veneer being formed into a new sustainable natural coffin.

The observation of the life cycle had triggered my fascination with the leaves. The cycle of life, seasons, of all that has a beginning and an end. This obsession with natural resources, combined with my passion for design, gave birth to the idea of introducing leaves into the existing techniques as lamination to create new materials in order to make coffins.
