Colorful object?
wall clock 2018
I think clocks have a strong presence as clocks.
As I wrote in Art or Graphic, even if you hang a beautiful and novel clock on the wall, it is absolutely a clock.
It can’t afford to have the presence of an object or art piece.
It's hard to recognize this design as a clock at first glance. This design has the appearance of an object that you can enjoy the change of expression, but the right edge of the fan-shaped part acts as a hand, and you can read the time.
A clock maintaining their raison d'etre by being seen is given the interest of being seen.
I want clocks used at home to have enough room and freedom not to be too much like a clock.
I hope that the time spent with this clock in people's daily lives will gently stimulate their sensitivity and nurture their rich hearts.
時計は、時計としての存在感が強過ぎると思う。
Art or Graphic でも書いているけれど、
綺麗で斬新な時計を壁にかけても、それは圧倒的に時計である。
そこには、オブジェやアートピースのような 余裕のある佇まい が無い。
このデザインは一見して時計と認識し難い。
表情の変化を楽しむオブジェの佇まいだが、扇形の右端が針の役割を果たして時刻が読める。
見られることで存在意義を保つ時計に、見えることの面白さを持たせた。
家庭で使う時計には、時計過ぎない余裕と自由さもほしい。
人々の日常に於いて、この時計と過ごす時間が、やさしく感性を刺激し豊かな心を育む時間になることを願う。
