studio ve: manifold clock

studio ve: manifold clock


'manifold clock,' designed by studio ve


the wall-mounted 'manifold clock,' designed by israeli industrial design team studio ve (shay carmon and ben klinger),
combines modern design and traditional mechanics. the clock's hands are connected with a colourful manifold
of printed tyvek®, creating three-dimensional movement over the course of an hour or day.
the time is still read traditionally by the location of the hour and minute hands,
but it can also be estimated based on  the different colours and shapes that form at different times.



the manifolds are made in four different colour schemes



over the course of the day, the clock takes on new configurations as the hands move relative to one another



detail view of the manifold



the clock makes the reading of time a three-dimensional process

Antonia   12.10.10
why is there a part edited out every time the fan part is about to flip? is there some issue with it when it needs to flip? just wondering

I think the video that 'flips' is more for us to see the full extension of the arm... I don't think the clock actually has that kind of movement because in the second video the arm moves smoothly.

@Antonia: you can get it on our website.

@ufm: the first video is a showcase of the clock, the second is a stop motion with a 30sec. interval.

the clock works as any other clock and you don't need to flip it.

if you look closely in the second video you can see the grass growing
