bent bamboo coffin

bent bamboo coffin by Teddy Atuluku from nigeria

designer's own words:

With a greater demand for sustainable burial practices, the bent bamboo coffin is a sustainable alternative to the bulky coffins currently in use. The bent bamboo coffin is designed to be a pod around the body. Taking advantage of the natural traits of bamboo, it is lighter and smaller than, but just as strong as modern coffins; this means a reduction in burial space needed, reduced transportation costs, and is easier to carry. The metal bars jutting out from under the coffin allow the coffin to be easily carried and allow ropes to be slipped securely and easily underneath the coffin, making lowering it into the grave easier.
