This would be great if I had a set of glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof they were crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous peoples of wherever. However, I'm more the sort of person who sees a table in the shape of a yin-yang and does NOT have to have it.

What about that blue one...

]]> <![CDATA[Icon Clock Merges Design With Telling Time]]> I thought $55 really wasn't bad for a design-y wall clock, but it's smaller than you'd think - three and a half inches across. Erm, no thanks. I'm normally a big fan of design objects, especially unique clocks, but in this case, I'll keep my generic IKEA one-million-off.

]]> <![CDATA[Icon Clock Merges Design With Telling Time]]> I'm not sure what everyone else is on about, but I don't think the design is anything special. Sure, it's simple - to the point that it looks cheap and unsophisticated, like a generic IKEA one-million-off (right down to the "inoffensive" color palette). Any George Nelson Vitra clock pulls off "simple" with inifinitely more aesthetic finesse than this thing.

]]> <![CDATA[Icon Clock Merges Design With Telling Time]]> Along time ago in Design School, which I never attended, I heard that the best analogy of form vs function is the difference between a digital clock (pure function) and an analog clock with no numbers (pure form).

These clocks would seem to be pure form, and in their zen-like simplicity are absolutely gorgeous. With that all being said, what the hell are those other watches on about?

Also Giz, can I suggest a name change?
"Clockmodo - So much in love with chronography, chronomorphology and time, it's unnatural."
- Love your work.
