design : Kanaé Tsukamoto
DROPS DRAW THE EXISTANCE
When Kanae Tsukamoto, the designer of this clock, noticed the shape made in the ground by a falling raindrop, she became aware of it as a gravitational form. Gravity works and can be felt directly, yet it can’t be seen or touched. She created this design as the image of gravity acting incidentally on the form of another object.
TENSION
Bringing out contradictory factors within the elements of a certain character creates a sense of tension. We expressed such an idea in a form.
FIREWORKS
After first developing a shape resembling three-dimensional lace, we eventually settled on a simple form on which you can accurately read the time at a glance. It ended up as a contrasting solid with a shape resembling a firework going up in the night sky as a point of wit.
