| Shelves for Life
The shelves are CNC cut in oak veneered plywood to the customers measurements. They are intended to be used throughout life as storage for personal belongings. On death, the shelves are dismantled and rebuilt as a coffin.
Launched at the British Library during the Travelling Apothecary show and simultaneously at Liberty's as part of Design UK during London Design Week, September 2006.
How it's assembled

Agreed! And I'm guessing you can decorate/stain/paint it as you wish. How many people get to customize their own coffins? |

Probably kind of uncomfortable unless you added some kind of padding.I'm not really sure though,I'm just guessing.
