GEMSTONE is not only the perfect gift idea, but also a revolutionary design object. Davide Bonanni and Michael Breschi have designed the first clock that can be used in two ways: as a table or as a wall clock. This object was produced by the BOZU Italian Workshop Design.
When GEMSTONE is closed it takes the form of a brilliant-cut gem, and when the rays are opened it assumes the shape of a star or a sun. The dual functionality and use of this clock changes its form, but doesn't take away from its aesthetic taste. It is entirely made in soft-touch plastic, without any screws, and is the result of the study of a perfect fit between its components.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Dual-functionality Clocks
- There is a growing trend in the market for clocks that serve multiple functions, providing opportunities for disruptive innovation in the clock industry.
- Versatile Design Objects
- GEMSTONE represents the growing trend of design objects that can be used in multiple ways, opening up opportunities for innovative and adaptable products in the design industry.
- Screwless Product Design
- The use of soft-touch plastic and the absence of screws in GEMSTONE demonstrate a trend towards screwless product design, creating opportunities for innovative manufacturing techniques and materials.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Clock Manufacturing
- The demand for dual-functionality clocks presents an opportunity for clock manufacturers to create innovative products that cater to the needs of modern consumers.
- Home Décor and Design
- Versatile design objects like GEMSTONE offer opportunities for the home décor and design industry to create adaptable and multifunctional products that enhance the aesthetic appeal of living spaces.
- Plastics Manufacturing
