The Touch Clock was designed with intimacy in mind, requiring users to get close in order to determine the time.
More often than not, clocks are designed with the intention of blending subtly into the background, serving as an unobtrusive time piece in one's home. To combat this, designer Jana Lukčová created the Touch Clock -- a fur-covered clock that requires interaction with its user. Available in multiple colors and styles, this wood-mounted time piece, contains large clock hands underneath a mop of fur. To find the position of the clock's hands, users must grab the device, which creates a multi-sensory experience for the user, with the added benefit of creating an emotional bond between the consumer and the object.
