Kaede
design : Yuichi Nara
This table clock was designed with the twelve numbers arranged in a circle within the rectangular clock frame, to show off the space of the clock face beautifully. Pure maple wood, used as a frame of Kaede, is bright, natural and fine material. The material changes the color in amber over time. The design, which isn’t overstated, is well suited to tastes that favor a natural or modern space. It can also be used as a wall clock.
