Memento Mori
Faceted Skull Copper Large
Design by Ali Bakova
Memento Mori, from the Latin ‘Remember you will die’, is less a doom-laden prophecy, but instead an inducement to live every day to the full, as if it might be your last.
Don't be fooled by its simplicity. The NUDE Memento Mori collection by Ali Bakova may present a sleek, pared-back aesthetic, but this item offers a multitude of uses. Crafted from faceted crystalline glass with a semi-matte copper finish, this large skull-shaped ornament is part sculpture, part symbol, and a beautiful reminder of how precious life is.
- Handmade
- Lead-free crystal
- Iconic object

Introducing
Ali Bakova
Turkish industrial designer Ali Bakova works from a studio in the large industrial zone of Istanbul’s business district, Maslak, where creative offices and auto repair shops – designers and industry – live side-byside. In 2015, Bakova, who is also one of the city’s most respected design educators, co-curated an exhibition entitled Atölye Maslak Maker Culture during which the small-scale production of artistic and artisanal objects was conducted on-site, using 3D printers. Bakova’s work can be playful – he may fashion a cat from Iznik tiles or a wooden chair taking its cues from the iconic Galata Bridge – but it also focuses on purity, what is essential and smart functionality.
