CUCULO FELICE

design : Akiko Miya

Cuculo is for “cuckoo”, and felice is for “happiness” in Italian. Wishing to share a happy moment, we named this clock “CUCULO FELICE”. We designed the shape reminiscent of a small house nestle in the forest, or maybe a rustic medieval church. The clock hand is in the motif of the cuckoo’s tail feather and also the part of the rose window.
It gives a space for a various analogies with each person’s images or their past-time memories. The clock keeps time correctly but there are differences in our feelings how fast time passes by and how much we spent a fulfilling time. CUCULO FELICE will be there for those kinds of scenery of time and sings softly for your gentle moment.

Osmocolor is a natural paint made from vegetable oils (sunflower oil, soybean oil, and thistle oil) and vegetable waxes. Its greatest feature is that it does not interfere with the “breathing” of wood. Instead of applying a film of paint on the surface like urethane paint, it penetrates deep into the wood to allow the wood’s natural regulatory functions to come into play, contributing to the creation of a comfortable and healthy living space throughout the four seasons. It does not contain any chemical substances and boasts a high level of safety equivalent to that of food, making it safe even for families with small children. It is a human- and nature-friendly paint that brings out the full comfort of wood.
