Beautiful objects take time. The EARTH 45 CREATOR´S EDITION RUST Wall Clock With Black Body from QLOCKTWO emphasizes the long process of its beautiful rusting with artful time indication. While inspired by nature, designers Marco Biegert and Andreas Funk’s work examines the moment and the now. This clock substitutes the often-abstract number for the story-telling letter. Time-telling letters are meticulously cut across the face of a raw steel panel. The panel is rusted in a time-intensive process to achieve a rich, textured surface filled with changing warm tones. Speaking of changing, LEDs behind signify the changing of time as they shine through the letters at 5-minute intervals. The automatically lighting piece informs and pleases as an artful design object.
