CASA
ROOT
Designed by Yuichi Nara
The round frame is made from beech wood, and the square frame is made from alder wood. The round white face sits within two types of wooden frame.
Twelve figures are arranged in moderate size.
The shape of the hand called “spade,” and the narrow, straight second hand.
These are materials and shapes that have been used countless times since long ago. There’s nothing new.
There’s only current time and space that connects the past and the future.
The time and space that exist there tell stories as the existence of a clock.
It’s a story that travels in time and space in an unbroken line.
