design : nendo
A series of wall clocks that use concepts other than numbers to tell time.
Inspired by the electron configuration of an atom, the number of electrons is used to convey the time. The design draws a connection between the spherical path of electrons spinning around in the centre of an atom and the rotation of the Earth as time marches on.
The designs were created with the intention of allowing the user to experience the passage of time in unique, new ways.
