Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative fusion of transport dashboard aesthetics with timekeeping in Mods Clock has earned recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award - could you elaborate on how automotive design elements influenced your creative process?
Nowadays people spend a lot of time driving. The dashboard with a speedometer is an important element of the interior of a car, which the driver refers to most often. That’s why it was my inspiration. The speed is a moment. The moments fly one after another... The time is slipping away from us. I hope that Mods clock, that are made in the style of a speedometer, will remind you of the transience of time.
The natural wood and bent MDF combination in Mods Clock creates a striking visual harmony - what inspired your choice of materials, and how did you achieve the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal?
The choice of natural materials is based on the fact that the clocks is an interior item. The main idea is that was the clocks blend in with furniture and the most common interior finishes. The chosen materials were also determined by the production capabilities and manufacturing technology.
Mods Clock features an intriguing visor-like element reminiscent of speed gauges - could you share the technical challenges you encountered when translating this automotive inspiration into a wall clock design?
Materials to Mods clock were not chosen accidentally. Actually I was leaning towards those materials that can be used in small-scale production. Unfortunately, there are several serious restrictions on potentially used materials and technologies in order to maintain a reasonable cost of the product accompanied by a small print run. As for the material of the exterior frame of the case with a visor the most suitable one was chosen to be MDF. I made my choice taking into consideration the main problems in its manufacturing, which are: first of all, to ensure that the corners are rounded neatly and secondly, that the side panels are rounded for further painting.
