Parents have always sought to preserve the memories of their child's growth from marking a child's height to saving artwork and mementos.
The Ellis Memory Cabinet is designed for those that want a modern heirloom constructed with environmentally-sustainable materials to preserve the unique moments that define each year of their child's life.
This modern heirloom is a growth chart and memory box in one.
Designed to mark a child's life from conception and birth to adulthood, each of the twenty recycled glass tubes hold mementos representing the highlights of each year.
The cabinet is designed with pesticide-free, non-formaldehyde bamboo plywood, natural cork and recycled glass. No glue, screws or nails are used in the construction.
The contents of each tube can be viewed through the sides of sandblasted glass tubes.
The child's height, up to 6' tall, can be recorded by pushing a tack pin into the thin strip of natural cork.
Strong, small magnets inset into the cabinet hold circular glass doors in place. Shown above are open and closed doors.
From ultrasound pictures to the baby's first pair of shoes, the cabinet offers a unique way to capture the memories of a child's life and growth with each passing year.
