Yokan
design : Yuichi Nara
This clock with a thermometer and hygrometer has strong features and the appearance of having just been hewn in a square lump from a tree. With luxury in mind, we used pure wood for the frame finished with a coating of soft-feeling plant oil, making it possible to directly feel the warmth of the tree. It has a clear and simple design, with the thermometer and hygrometer being highly visible and easy to read.
