Although the name of the design can be considered offensive and judgmental if people take it as an insult to their lack of time-telling abilities, it is still an endearing creation. The [minimalist face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taoclock) ensures that people pay attention to the only thing that matters, the particular time of day. Designed by Sabrina Fossi, a product designer based in Florence, Italy, the FreakishCLOCK Wall Clock may be bold and simple, but it boasts vibrant colors and even the occasion pattern to spice things up. It is made out of plastic and can be considered a contemporary work of art in the home.
