dutch design studio tjep (frank tjepkema) are displaying their project 'clockwork snow'
within the christmas windows at la rinascente in milan. the piece appears as a grouping of mechanical gears
that seem to drop from heaven like icy snowflakes, crystallizing into a magical machine frozen in time.
the gears represent our rational world, but here they transcend the purely utilitarian,
becoming a romantic, haunting dream.
