# Star-Shaped Wall Clocks GEMSTONE Brightens up Any Room By Alice Zuliani | Published 2013-08-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemstone-design-clock-perfect-gift-idea References: [bozu.it](http://bozu.it/home.asp) & [bozu.it](http://bozu.it/collection-show.asp?id=339) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bc17). This object was produced by the BOZU Italian Workshop Design. When GEMSTONE is closed it takes the [form of a brilliant-cut gem](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-collection), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### 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:** The screwless design and use of soft-touch plastic in GEMSTONE indicate a potential trend in plastics manufacturing, where innovative materials and techniques can be applied to create functional and visually appealing products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Marble Cosmic Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobius-calendar-clock.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Celestially Inspired Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astral-desk-clock.md) - [Venn Diagram Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetlag-clock.md) - [Dynamic Shadow Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textural-wall-clock.md) - [Moon-Inspired Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-trip-clock.md) - [Minimal Global Desk-Side Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-clock-1.md) - [Minimal Dynamic Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md)
