Long Time

Long Time Clock is inspired by the captivating art of kirigami, a traditional Japanese technique that beautifully combines folding and cutting paper. Just like in kirigami, this clock is a blend of art and functionality. The cutting and folding technique allows for the creation of Roman numerals on the clock's sides. As a result, the numerals themselves seem to leap out of the metal strip, creating a play of positive and negative areas. Made from a laser-cut strip of aluminum, the clock has been sustainably designed to minimize material waste.
