shadows are cast on to the face of the clock to reveal the time
swedish design team front are showcasing 'sundial' designed for italian company porro and
the first piece from their 2011 collection to be presented.
the circular metal disk holds each of the twelve numbers perpendicular to the surface which become
evident when their shadows are cast on to the painted white base. when viewed straight on the numbers
appear to be a series of simple, parallel lines unlike the playful overlapping numbers which are visible
when viewed from the side.
by using light and shadow, front has created a piece that is continually transformed
by its environmental factors.
numbers are placed perpendicular to the surface and are only seen when viewed from the side
