Exhibitor’s Stories

The cuckoo clock version of the CARVED series features the numerals carved into the clock face, which give various impressions depending on the surrounding lighting atmosphere.

A cuckoo pops out of a carved numeral and tells the time. The design featuring both a bird’s nest and a numeral to indicate the time makes us unaware that it is a cuckoo clock, except when it strikes the hours.

This clock, with its numbers in a chiseled-out style, attempts to treat the graphic as part of the form. The shadows of the carved-out letters bring a three-dimensional impression to the clock face, with its appearance changing in accordance with lights located in its immediate area. The idea was inspired by materials used for interior decoration and technical conversion.
