The Manifold Clock

The Manifold Clock: "

별거아닌데 하나 비뜰었을뿐인데 난 왜 이런생각을 못했을까 하는 ...
시계이면서 키네틱아트처럼 보여지네요
Groovy Fan Clock


I will be the first to say it, I’m not a big clock person. I don’t wear a watch, loathe it really. And you’d better be prepared to go on a miniature scavenger hunt to find out what time it is in my home. I know where the clocks are. I do have to have some inkling of time. They just have to be hidden from my line of view. I don’t like clocks staring me down, reminding me, with every tic toc, that one more minute of my life is gone. I like my time in increments; work time, dinner time, craft time, bed time-you get the picture. ”What about when you’re not at home?”, you may ask. Well, clever me has literally made an artform out of finding a clock in almost every nook and cranny of NYC… and even in some European cities. I prefer it this way. It makes finding out the time more like an adventure than a necessity. However…there are exceptions to the rule. If the clock is so truly unusual that I can’t really decipher the time without a lot of effort and is not only visually appealing but also interesting in some way, then it earns a free pass into my home. I found such a clock on Core 77 today. Designers Shay Carmon and Ben Klinger of Studio Ve have created a delightful little timekeeper called the Manifold Clock and it is truly one of the grooviest clocks I have encountered in a long time.The Manifold Clock consist of a piece of Tyvek that twirls around the manifold, creating a unique visual “time dance”. Some on Core 77′s post have questioned whether or not the clock actually works. I say, who cares? If you want a clock that tells accurate time buy a Swiss watch! :-P


You really have to check out the video below to to experience it yourself.

ICONICSTAND, This is Not Shop Class

ICONICSTAND, This is Not Shop Class: "







제작이 용이한 합판을 응용한 아이폰거치대 입니다.
저렴한재료로 금형없이 만들수도 있고, 얼마든지 다양한 디자인이 나올수 있는 제품.
당장에 판매해도 손색이 없을듯.. 과연 가격대가?

역시 한국디자이너 입니다.


In Seoul Korea a small studio called O’LIVEFACTORY is carving out a niche in the market. The brain child, one Kenny Cho, who nearly gave up ID, decided to return to his boyhood dream of designing products in his early retirement. Operating on sustainable practices, their first product is the ICONICSTAND, a desktop iPhone 4 stand made of birch, jointed for landscape and portrait viewing. There’s an option to customize your own icon should the stock ones not suite your fancy. This is a poignant reminder, never give up on your dream.


14.0 X 9.0 X 15.5 cm ( Width X Depth X Height )


Designer: Young-Gun Cho (aka Kenny Cho)

Plants of Light

Plants of Light: "







집 한켠에 저런거 하나만 둬도 분위기 확 살거 같네요.


Schattengewächs begins like any other grow-it-yourself plant kit but the payoff isn’t a real plant, rather it’s a light – shaped like flowers, trees and even insects. Adore the play between real and artificial. There’s no power switch. It automatically “grows” thanks to a photosensor and the whole thing runs on four coin cell batteries. The pot is made of clay and all the inner bits are molded from biological plastic. By the way, Maximilian Winkel is an awesome name. I will say it all day today.
