DESIGN OBJECTS

bloomia
Designed by Kaori Akiyama
bloomia is a wall clock that gently tells the time, softly blending into your everyday life.
The clock’s distinctive index design is created by carefully folding Ultrasuede®, a premium artificial suede material of world-class quality that is also widely used in wallpaper. Each piece is individually crafted by skilled artisans, resulting in a unique expression unlike that of any conventional clock.
Inspired by the shape of a blooming flower, the clock face features deep, sculptural contours that cast delicate shadows, which change with the seasons as well as throughout the course of each day. We hope you will enjoy not only seeing the passage of time indicated by the hands, but also the subtle play of light and shadow that brings this clock to life.
Just as a flower slowly unfolds from a bud, revealing its beauty little by little, we hope bloomia brings small moments of quiet surprise and encourages you to cherish each passing moment.

Ultrasuede®️ is a luxurious yet highly functional non-woven material with a suede texture made possible by leveraging the most advanced fiber technologies at Toray – the inventor of the ultra-fine fiber.
The polyester urtra-fine fibers used to create Ultrasuede®️ are so light that a strand more than 900 km long would weigh less than on gram. By entwining bundles of ultra-fine fibers and elastic high polymers in a dense three – dimensional configuration, Toray has created a revolutionary material distinct from conventional woven or knitted fabrics. Thanks to Toray’s tireless technological innovation, the characteristics of this generational material mimic yet surpass natural leather suede. As a result, Ultrasuede®️ has been adopted in countless applications since its launch in 1970.
