“Farewell” it´s a case that involves everything that represents honoring somebody on their last moment with us, giving that last memory to that person that was so important in our lives.
It represents all the good things that a person left and the way that we shall always remember them.

The wood used was “Tornillo” or “Cedar Frog”, “Dantelion” was the flower that inspired this hall project, because of its similarity with life and the beauty of such; it contains seeds that can be blown away and the flower dies, just as easy as life does too…in an instant; but all this seeds left rebirth into something new, they represent what was left from a person, all the good deeds, all the memories, all the wisdom, all the love…

FAREWELL is a case that contains very precious objects, 4 beautiful wine glasses and a special compartment for memories… a space where you can keep the most valuable things that you love from the person that passed away (a photo, note, letter, etc).
The secret lock that this case contains assures that nobody but you can reach to such important objects.

“What we do in life, echoes in eternity”; this case represents an honor to that.
