Robin
Robin is a bespoke domestic memorial cabinet that aims to promote healthier grieving by providing storage for sentimental items. While traditional memorials still hold value for some, they can often feel outdated in today's more emotionally driven society. Robin introduces a higher level of personalisation to memorials, helping to better reflect the individuality of the person who has passed.
Who is this for?
With 67.2% of survey respondents reporting they rarely or never set aside time to grieve, offering an easily accessible memorial encourages a more mindful and intentional grieving process.
It also seeks to diminish the societal taboo around death by opening up conversations about the deceased through more approachable and tangible means.
The distinctive design of the cabinet is intended to evoke a sense of comfort, making it more approachable for users. The stained glass doors not only conceal the stored items but also contribute to an elegant and visually appealing aesthetic.
Process and Prototyping
The Future of this Product
In the future if this was produced it could significantly help those who are grieving due to it facilitating the therapeutic act of collating items. Designing for grief is difficult as it is one of the few things that will affect every single person in society. The personalisation aspects of this project would allow people to create a unique and meaningful design that could aid them on the process to grieving healthier.
