DESIGN OBJECTS
dandelion / divide / molecule
Designed by nendo
A series of wall clocks that use concepts other than numbers to tell time.
The designs were created with the intention of allowing the user to experience the passage of time in unique, new ways.
dandelion
The number of dandelion seed heads is used to express the time. The design alludes to time flowing onward like seed heads dancing lightly upon the wind.
divide
The number of divisions within a single straight line is used to tell the time. The design expresses the idea of time gradually ticking away throughout the course of a day.
molecule
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.
