Urns made together with your loved one
Maan helps people find beauty and liberation in the inevitable adventure called death.
This is Maan. Of earth.
Life leaves things unresolved, death is an opportunity for learning, understanding, gratitude and peace.
The medium for Maan’s founder, Pia Zettinig, is natural clay. Formed into dissolving one-of-a-kind urn. Tangible core of the healing journey Maan provides. Transient totem for the departing soul.
Maan is the purveyor of good passings. Creator of liberating, shameless, consoling odysseys of death.
Deeply personal, healing experience
