I'm ready to start the journey

Your life is full of stories.Keep them alive.

General Memory is a bespoke luxury experience for you to preserve your favourite memories.

We sit with you to listen to your stories and then turn them into beautiful objects

designed to grow with you and last generations.

By private commission

Your memories,
beautifully kept.

Every commission includes a handmade book and a private digital story. Two ways to keep your memories close.

An illustrative commission

A handmade book

Your life stories, told in words and images. Crafted with the highest care and attention to detail.

A growing archive

A private website or mobile app for photographs, films and your own recorded voice. It grows with you over time.

How we work

Unhurried conversations, at your pace. Every detail shaped around you.

  1. Tell your stories.

    Unhurried conversations over tea. We listen as you revisit the people and moments that shaped you.

  2. Shape it together.

    We propose a design for your story. Together, we choose the materials and digital experiences.

  3. See it take form.

    We write, design and craft. You review with us before your book and digital story arrive.

Don't let the memories fade.

Four steps describe how a commission unfolds. One step waits at a time: choosing it brings its part of the room into colour, tells you what happens at that stage, and offers you the step that follows. The fourth completes the room.

A sunlit Peranakan room with an open window on the left, a carved rattan settee, a walnut table and an empty display shelf on the right.

Step one

Interviews

We begin by listening. A series of unhurried conversations — many hours, across several sittings, with you and with the people who share your story — until we're confident we can tell the best version of the wonderful life you have lived.

Step two

Collecting your things

Our team comes to you and gathers everything you give us access to: documents, photographs, the videos taken over the years, letters, keepsakes. We make secure digital copies of them to store, so you'll never have to wonder where they are anymore.

Step three

Crafting your memories

Over the four to six weeks that follow, our team of expert craftsmen and designers transform your life stories into beautiful objects that tell your story. Whether it's a hardcopy book, a website, a mobile app or any other physical form, we give you something that ensures you get to relive your best memories whenever you want.

Step four

The reunion

We sit down with you and your family, present everything we have made, walk through the life stories together, and show you how to live with the objects that now hold them.

Four steps, and the room comes back.
