Our Future Home- Egg Coffin




Before this, we only told you guys about extraordinary and strange people or things. But, for this week, we will talk about extraordinary thing that created by human.



As we know, grave is the place that we bury people who died. But this picture is a FOREST!
 If you think this is just a normal forest, nope! You are wrong. This is actually a green cemetery.
This idea was created by Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel, the designer from Italy. They create an innovation of a cemetery.



 Capsula Mundi is a container, shaped like an egg. It made from a modern material -starch plastic- in which the dead body is put in a fetal position, just like we in our mom womb. Capsula Mundi is planted like a seed in the soil, and a tree is planted on top of it. The tree is chosen when the person is alive, relatives and friends look after it when death occurs. A cemetery will no longer be full of tombstones and will become a sacred forest. Trees planted above them would suck their nutrients and grow.

By planting different kinds of trees next to each other it creates a place for a beautiful walk and a reminder of our loved ones. 


"Capsula Mundi designed purpose is to curb the rampant felling of trees and makes us love nature"
We guess both of them have a such great ideas to remember of our loved who have died. In addition, we  may increase more oxygen in the presence of many green trees because the issue of cutting down trees for the benefits of human are becoming more common. Therefore, we have to take care of the flora and fauna for the benefit of all and the law should be tightened so that illegal loggers can be eradicated.
