Description

A creative take on the classic steeple-topped cuckoo clocks of the past. Japanese design firm Nendo designed the Dent clock for Lemnos, using the traditional cuckoo clock design in a refreshing concept. Seemingly inspired by contemporary architecture and sculptures, the clock features a rectangular volume with a carved-out section in the shape of a house. Instead of announcing the time above the 12 o’clock mark, the cuckoo peeks our from the side of the clock. Made of Japanese cedar MDF, the clock boasts both natural and white surfaces. Gray hour markers and hands complete this whimsical design. The Dent clock comes with a two-step volume control with a light sensor and will remain silent at night. Other designs from the same collection are also available.
