Leaves, a textile coffin!

.

Designer Shaina Garfield redesigns death practices to create a positive relationship with death and the new life aligned with nature, with 'Leaves.'

It's made with biodegradable materials and the coffin’s rope has a dye embedded with spores. Once the body is buried, fungus grows to speed up the decomposition. Most importantly, the fungus eats the plethora of toxins in our bodies, so only nutrients go into the soil. Thus, this help plant a tree above the burial site becoming a beacon of new life.
