Shape-Adjusting Clocks

The 'Sophie' Clocks by Layla Mehd Have a Uniquely Customizable Shape

— May 27, 2014 — Art & Design
Everyone's design tastes are uniquely different and so designer Layla Mehd created the 'Sophie' wall clock to let buyers adjust the shape and look of the timepiece.

Mehd ingeniously developed the 'Sophie' clock to have two separate triangular plywood pieces. Each clock face comes in a single, bright color hue and a wooden stripe silhouette. The first face is numberless and features two slim and elegant watch dial hands. The second face is positioned directly behind the first and has the ability to be rotated allowing homeowners to customize the shape and look of their wall clock. Depending on your decorating style and taste, you can flip one of the 'Sophie' clock faces vertical and the other horizontal, match them up together or anything in between. Different configurations will create various shadows along the wall depending on the time of day.
