Capsule Urn Wins Gold In 2013 Spark Design Awards
Capsule Urn, LLC. is pleased to announce that the company has earned a Gold Award in the 2013 Spark Design Awards. Capsule Urn, an American design manufacturer of contemporary cremation urns, has been recognized in the Product category of this noted global design competition. This design honor is a testament to Capsule’s focus on modern designs in an industry poised for change.
The Spark Awards mission is to initiate positive design-led change, by highlighting the best new ideas and the best new solutions.

With a record-breaking 50% increase in entries from the previous year, Spark Jurors had a field day choosing their favorite designs.
“We are delighted to be selected for a Gold Award amidst such a competitive landscape of well-designed products from firms that we greatly respect” said Joyce Chua, Capsule Urn Creative Director. “Capsule is dedicated to expanding the landscape of well-designed memorial products. We are humbled to be selected by a jury made up of extremely accomplished design leaders.”
