Awesome Clocks from Crate & Barrel



I was in Crate and Barrel a few days ago and I was surprised to see such amazing clocks on display. The top one is my favorite, featuring an all black face and extruded numbers is simple but pretty fun at the same time. The white clock is kind of the classier version of the top one, all decked out in white with a more subtle embossing of the numbers instead of coming right out atcha’.

These clocks seem like they would fit better at CB2, but maybe they’re trying to test “hipper” products at the regular Crate & Barrel stores and see how they do? Either way, I think these are two of the sexiest clocks I’ve seen in a while.

Death Watch



Monocle has an interesting video on a collaboration between Dutch design school Eindhoven and funeral insurer Dela which is titled Remember Me. The idea was for the students to create new ways of dealing with death and how we cope. Ideas range from a clocks to burial shrouds, but many of the ideas are extremely elegant and beautifully done. Unfortunately, I can’t embed the video, but you can click here to watch it.
