kehai

design : Makoto Koizumi

“kehai” embodies a slightly ambiguous sign of time. This clock was originally designed in 2004 and has now been produced.
The movement of the dimly visible hands softly conveys an ambiguous sign of time through the translucent glass. Choose from three colors, depending on the wall material, to ensure that it blends in with the space and resembles a sign. The red dot on the second hand slowly turns like an objet d’art. The thin, delicate, yet strong aluminum frame is manufactured by Takata Factory using casting technology.

– Designer’s message –
We sometimes find the presence of a clock unpleasant.
And sometimes the existence of time is also unpleasant.
So a slightly ambiguous sign of time is just fine.
Makoto Koizumi
