# Illuminating Time Tellers The Shadow Clock Illuminates Passing Time By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shadow-clock References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/07/05/your-whole-wall-is-a-clock/) & [hanhsi](http://www.hanhsi.com/) Inspired by the moving shadows of outdoor objects such as trees and buildings, designer Hanhsi Chen and engineer Chiyu Chen teamed up to create the Shadow Clock. It is a luminous time teller that casts three shadowed arms which represent the hour, minute and second to easily tell time. Equipped with a halogen light and the inner workings of a conventional quartz clock, the Shadow Clock is unique only in its design. Not only does it add light to your surroundings, it's adjustable to add just the right amount. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Shadow Clock:** The Shadow Clock introduces a new way of telling time through innovative design. - **Luminous Time Tellers:** Luminous time tellers provide a visually appealing and functional approach to timekeeping. - **Adjustable Lighting:** The availability of adjustable lighting in time tellers allows for personalized illumination. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Product Design:** Product design industry can explore the innovation opportunities of incorporating shadows and light into timepiece designs. - **Home Decor:** Home decor industry can leverage luminous time tellers that add aesthetic appeal to living spaces. - **Smart Lighting:** Smart lighting industry can consider integrating adjustable lighting features into time telling devices for enhanced user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Shadow Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textural-wall-clock.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Snowglobe-Inspired Dynamic Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-to-snow.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Reimagined Modern Pendulum Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heng-alarm.md)
