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.

With a name inspired by the medieval practice of reflection on mortality, this NUDE Memento Mori skull bowl by Erdem Akan captures the mood with humour and creativity. Made from opal white crystalline glass, this large-sized vessel is ideal for holding watches, cufflinks, rings and other trinkets and accessories.

Erdem Akan
The NUDE Memento Mori collection takes one of history's most enduring symbols and renders it in crystalline glass — with results that are as beautiful as they are thought-provoking. The collection brings together two distinct visions: faceted skull sculptures in two sizes by Ali Bakova, and a series of faceted skull bowls by Erdem Akan. Each piece is meticulously crafted, the multifaceted surface catching and refracting light in a way that feels anything but morbid. A deeply personal accessory for the home — and a reminder that the most meaningful objects are the ones that make you think.
To Collection

Erdem Akan

Erdem Akan is one of the most distinctive voices in Turkish design, a designer whose work synthesises East and West, tradition and contemporaneity, with rare fluency. Born in Istanbul in 1973 and educated in the United Kingdom, his practice spans interiors, products, and exhibition design, shaped equally by the organic complexity of Istanbul's streets and the purity of Scandinavian design. One of NUDE's longest-standing collaborators, designing for the brand since its inception, Akan approaches each piece as though creating it for himself, personal in sensibility, yet always aligned with NUDE's philosophy of contemporary simplicity. Neither nostalgic nor futuristic, his work is firmly rooted in the present: considered objects made precisely for the right now.
