About Designer and craftsman Harm Rietveld

The Dutch company Memories to keep® makes special wooden products which offer emotional support following loss or parting. Artists and craftsman Harm Rietveld is able to make his special mini urns from rough pieces of wood. The traditional process of sanding, gluing, lacquering and varnishing is very labour-intensive, and this gives the products their exclusive character.
