Coffin Table is actually a typical coffee table where you can keep your stuff there such as books, magazines, personal mementos, etc. But, the ultimate goal of this coffin table is to keep you when you pass on to the next life. This coffin is non-toxic, made of natural pine with natural soap finish. The design is careful to facilitate a pure, and environmentally friendly, final purpose. The open bottom “promotes growth into the casket, enabling Memento to become part of the environment.†At the same time, Memento puts death into a historical context. Constantine says that the four panels along the top of the vessel are meant to be a “graphic representation of wrapped cloth, reminiscent of Egyptian mummification.â€
