Story
Naoto Fukasawa was inspired by the classic form of a school wall clock and the clock icons that adorn our desktops and mobile devices. This playful shape has been rendered in ABS plastic by Magis, who have used an eye-catching colour palette to further enhance the piece’s cheerful aesthetic. The clockface’s details have been raised up and rounded, adding to the visual language of the piece.
