GEMSTONE Brightens up Any Room
Alice Zuliani — August 17, 2013 — Art & Design
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.
