The 'Orbita' clock has been conceptually designed to be seamlessly incorporated into a space thanks to the sculptural aesthetic that enables it to hide in plain sight. Looking like a [simple piece of timber artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock) on a wall, the clock consists of two [rotating panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok) that sit flush to one another and spin freely during the day. Indicator notches vaguely resemble the hands of a clock to let inhabitants see the time without the need for digital screens or a traditional clock face.

The 'Orbita' clock has been designed by TWO O THREE and acknowledges the growing shift towards [minimalistic aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taoclock) as consumers continue to prefer products that are uncomplicated. The clock is suitable for incorporation into a living or working space to ensure the time is always visible.
