Circular wooden coffin, produced following a design by Sven Sachsalber. The planned artist’s proof was never realized.
Sven Sachsalber considered the possibility of creating further versions of this work. He had the idea of casting a donut in bronze or tin. Tin was considered a suitable material, in part because it is used for coffins.
