fun pun clock with color ! for table
design : Yoko Dobashi
An analog clock that helps you manage your time with its colorful design
The origin of the clock’s slightly humorous name is the Japanese pronunciation when reading the minutes in the base 60 numeral system. In Japanese, you read 5 minutes as “go(five)-fun,” 10 minutes as “ju(ten)-pun,” 15 minutes as “jugo(fifteen)-fun,” and 20 minutes as “niju(twenty)-pun.” This clock is easy to explain to children, simple, made of beautiful materials, and it matches any interior design.
An hour can be divided into 4 quarters. The “fun pun clock with color! for table” helps us make a schedule by recognizing “15 minutes” as one scene. Its good size and weight means you can check the time in your hands. The clock can be placed on a child’s desk to allow them to see the features and be able to work while being conscious of “How long until it’s time for …?”
Moreover, the clock responds to requests from elderly people to be able to put it within reach while they are seated in their usual place, such as at a dining table. It’s recommendable for a blissful moment with your grandchildren.The clock can be hung on a wall if you remove the accessory parts from the bottom. Its rich depth can also become a little accent in a room.
