First of all, while it might be ok to describe the design as a wood block to be succinct, there is geometric quality brought about by its boxy shape as well as the donut-like carving in the center, which mimics the classic face of a clock. Secondly, the hands look like colored popsicle sticks. O'Clock by Okum Made is available in four different types of wood: American Walnut, Hard White Maple, Douglas Fir and Cork. Each one was manufactured to frame the beauty of the wood's growth. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Geometric Time-tellers:** Exploring the potential for futuristic, novel designs in the time-telling industry. - **Quirky Details in Product Design:** Inciting innovation opportunities for consumer products that blend function with playful design sensibilities. - **Wood-based Manufacturing:** Creating eco-friendly designs and sustainable practices using wood-based products. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Collaborating with designers for interesting, unconventional time-tellers for home and office spaces. - **Consumer Products:** Incorporating eco-friendly wood-based materials and integrating quirks in classic designs for enhanced product appeal. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Investing in technologies that leverage the sustainable qualities of wood in the creation of a variety of products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tranquil Asymmetrical Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooj-design-masuno-clock.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Chic Modern Cuckoo Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cuckoo-clock1.md) - [Minimal Global Desk-Side Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-clock-1.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Two-Sided Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock.md)
