Philosophy

‘There is no greater happiness than to have designed and realised an all-round successful stone.’

We are already gripped by anxiety at the idea stage; the designs are an intensive search for the right material, a good shape, the right surface...
The initial impulses rarely correspond to the finished stone...

The greatest challenge is to strike a balance between the bold use of the material and its shape and quiet, sensitive restraint.

Often, agreeing on the final design for production requires an advance of trust from the mourner to the craftsman. In a way, the boundary of strangeness must be pushed. The mourner has to open up and reveal something personal, the craftsman has to feel, understand and translate...
Sensitively, the path to a personalised memorial offers a different way of coming to terms with the loss, unfamiliar aspects of the memory emerge.

The process takes the edge off the often diffuse feeling of a painful memory and relaxes the senses.

The aim is to visit the gravesite with the feeling of having found peace.
