My search for a clock has certainly taken some time (sorry) but I’ve only seen a handful that I really like. Will need to check out some local stores in Sydney soon. I tend to shop online a lot more these days just for convenience sake; I dread the day I start ordering groceries online!
Here’s one of my favourite clocks from a previous post: the O Clock.
Oclock; Designer: Anthony Duffeleer
Too bad my apartment is tiny. I would love to have this sitting at the end of the hallway functioning both as a clock and ambient lighting. Also, wish it did not cost USD$4,229.
Love the idea of sideways digital clocks:
Untitled (Numbers) LED Clock; Designer: Jonas Damon
OK this one isn’t really sideways but with that configuration it can be easily mounted sideways onto a wall. Imagine waking up in the morning and not having to scrabble to read that analog alarm clock. Like this Emily sideways clock – what a great idea! Of course it will only work well next to your bed.. or if you’re naturally adept at reading things sideways at a glance.. or if you have a bendy neck..
Emily clock; Designer Greg Wolos
How awesome is this concept by Vadim Kibardin! A clock that is totally minimal, light-sensitive and self contained power source. Wish it was in production.
It’s such a clean, simple design that would look good anywhere!
And this isn’t a clock (duh) but a fun mirror I came across while surfing for clocks. It’s called Mirror, Mirror but I have seen it referenced as the Oh how beautiful (you are) Mirror :)
Too small to actually read but this is what it supposedly says: Oh how beautiful you are! You’re charming. You look gorgeous! It’s fantastic. You are infinitely attractive! I think that you are fabulous, just fabulous! You are absolutely delectable. Your hair is really stunning, it sparkles with life! I love the way that you do your hair, that silken head of curls and waves is glorious… and so on.
Mirror, Mirror; Designer: Joop Steenkamer jr.
Another non-clock item I am fascinated by: the Con_Sequence light by One & Co that is made using 3D printing technology!
Love the idea of gravity being a part of the design; at the same time the bottom spread of chain links means more stability. Win! Those 3D printer things will totally revolutionise the way designers create. Can’t wait for the day they will be commercially available! Seeing them in action blows my mind:
Most of these items are available online from Generate Design.
