Casual Death Dinner

London

March 2024

​

The first Café Mortel we hosted paid homage to Bernard Crettaz—the sociologist who coined the term café mortel and, between 2004 and 2010, gathered people in Swiss bistros for more than forty evenings of cake, tea, and mortality.

 

“If we have cafés to discuss politics, and cafés to discuss science, why don’t we have a café mortel?” — Bernard Crettaz

CAFE MORTEL is a creative studio exploring a new death culture, through media, experiences and remembrance objects.

​

We bring design and craftsmanship to invite beauty into our relationship with mortality, deepening meaning and connection.
