The Design

About Long Time 벽시계

롱 타임 클락은 종이를 접고 자르는 기법을 아름답게 결합한 일본 전통 기술인 매혹적인 키리가미 예술에서 영감을 받았습니다. 키리가미처럼 이 시계는 예술과 기능성의 조화입니다. 커팅과 폴딩 기법을 통해 시계 측면에 로마 숫자가 만들어집니다. 그 결과 숫자들이 금속 스트립에서 튀어나오는 듯 보이며, 양각과 음각 영역의 조화를 연출합니다. 레이저 커팅된 알루미늄 스트립으로 제작된 이 시계는 재료 낭비를 최소화하도록 지속가능하게 디자인되었습니다.

Unique Properties
The clock is made from a single narrow strip of metal. The cutting and folding technique allows for the creation of Roman numerals on the clock's sides. As a result, the numerals themselves seem to leap out of the metal strip, creating a play of positive and negative areas. The clock is positioned 5 cm away from the wall and appears to be floating.
Dimensions & Packaging
Size: 96.5X17X5 cm / 38X6.7X2 Inches

Production Technology
Made from a high-quality, laser-cut strip of aluminum, the clock has been sustainably designed to minimize material waste.
Design Challenge
Balancing the artistic aspect of kirigami with the functional requirements of a clock was tricky. Designing Roman numerals that can be cut and folded effectively from the aluminum strip while remaining visually appealing and easily readable poses a creative challenge.
Research
The study centered on the design aspects of the product, incorporating the development of numerous paper models and layouts. This entailed the analysis of dimensions, proportions, fonts, and the structural integrity of the forthcoming clock. The investigation resulted in the choice of Roman numerals 3 and 9 as the central design elements, chosen for their symmetry, which enabled the application of the Kirigami effect.
Inspiration
The clock was inspired by kirigami, the Japanese art of folding and cutting paper. In kirigami, paper is both folded and cut, resulting in a three-dimensional design that stands out from the page.
Project Duration
March 2020 - July 2020 Studio Wallaby, Yoqneam-Ilit, Israel
Operation Flow
The clock arrives ready to use and can be hung on the wall with two screws.
