A good-looking clock can be a great way to embellish plain looking walls, apart from reading time. How about owning a clock that gives birth to a 3D movement as the hands move ahead? Studio Ve has designed a unique looking clock that has fetched heavy inspiration from Riemann surfaces, which is a mathematical system and log (z) function. Christened the Manifold Clock, both the hands of the clock have been connected with a supple surface that gives it an attention grabbing existence.
Reading time is same as we do when using conventional clocks. The hands have been fitted to a sheet of Tyvek. The material is very flexible and is used to make protective cover walls and resistant envelops. The appearance of Manifold Clock transforms with every passing minute and is quite interesting when observed. This happens as the surface moves in space, which is a result of circular movement of hands. The surface moves freely around the hands and no complication arises in the clock’s functioning.
Manifold Clock has a very modern design and makes good use of simple mechanics. It has a customized ABS injected base, which is further fitted with a manifold that has interesting patterns on it. The design details are amazing and all the parts have been placed together carefully. The flexible sheet used in the design gives the clock a very colorful appeal. This adds vividness and makes it look lively. Manifold Clock can be picked from three color patterns and a 30” diameter version will also be available.
