The Final Turn - Funerary urn - Tom Kundig

Tom Kundig is responsible for designing some of the best houses we have seen over the last decade. With a sensuous use of materials, ingenious fabrication and a genuine feel for the lives to be lived within, his work offers an antidote to the myriad dumbly glossy boxes bullt for the rich and witless. This funerary urn, commissioned by artist Greg Lungren distils Kundig's architectural aesthetic as succinctly as the chair's of Eames, Breuer and Prouvé did their's. Richly tactile and formally symbolic, it is hard to imagine a brief more profoundly satisfied.
