Our workshop in Krosno

MEMORIA ARTE urns are made in our workshop in Krosno, south-eastern Poland. We work with ancient black oak, Baltic amber and resin.

Ancient black oak comes from oak trunks that lay for millennia in water and silt, sealed from the air. Over that time its colour changed from brown to deep black. The grain of every urn is different.

We inspect every urn, give it an item number and include a certificate.
