I'm not sure about you, but I definitely am not in the market to surround myself with reminders of my own mortality--but for those who are, the Remember You Will Die Chair (Souviens toi que tu vas mourir) would make a perfect addition to your home decor.

This [morbid piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossil-furniture) takes the form of a bone-white skull. The Remember You Will Die Chair is currently being exhibited during the Nouvelle Vague, the New French Domestic Landscape exhibition in Milan, Italy from April 12 to April 17, 2011.

Designed by Pool, the chair is definitely poetic. Would you ever consider owning it? If anything, you can break it out every time Halloween roles around.
