Millennium Design Ab

The Swedish designer and entrepreneur Susanne Appel, founder of Millennium Design AB was born in 1971 and grew up in a big family with loving parents. When her dad unexpectedly died, only 66 years old, the unique Circle of Life Urn - TELLUS urn® was born. “When I let go of my dad’s big hand and carefully placed it on the cover, I realized at that moment I had received a gift. A gift to honor the life of a beloved, and not to be afraid of death - as it is a natural part of life. This gift turned into my life’s mission: to create personalized and beautiful last farewells”. The Circle of Life Urn - TELLUS urn® originates in the vision of being universal, functional, aesthetically pleasing and to convey hope. Susanne gets her inspiration from nature and the urns round shape symbolizes earth: the beginning, the end and eternity. The text and the color of the silk ribbon capture the essence of the loved one, and the white butterfly can be removed and saved, stands for hope, the ever-changing nature of life, and the eternal love. Today Susanne and the Circle of Life Urn - TELLUS urn® has helped thousands of grieving relatives all over Sweden to create beautiful and unique farewells. The urn was created with the vision of giving comfort in the grieving process as well as keeping a physical memory of the deceased one close in a visual place in the home. “Family has always played an important part in my life and I cherish the gifts that have been giving by my ancestors and I want to leave a legacy for generations to come without putting more pressure on our beautiful planet. Therefore, the urn is biodegradable and leaves a minimum carbon footprint”.
