Formed and Functioning

Clocks have been relegated to formless function for far too long. The Grandfather clock was an imposing fella who'd shout the time and loom over your room. Recently, though, clocks have made a more subtle statement, blending in to the room's decor rather than imposing itself on your senses.

 Bloom Wall Clock - Schmitt Design
Keeping in time with modern sensibilities, the bright Bloom Clock by Schmitt stands out on it's own with a environmentally friendly bamboo frame and light color, but will blend in with a delicately balanced room. Schmitt's design is intentionally symmetrical to reflect nature's tendency for radial designs.

 Samara Wall Clock - Schmitt Design
Schmitt's a fan of keeping things eco-friendly and highlights that in this minimalist's-dream clock. The sweeping limbs of the Samara Wall Clock are comforting, echoing the movement of wind-mills. The bold red of the arm distinguishes the whole piece.
Clocks can sometimes become symbols of the day-to-day stresses of life. These clocks combine the natural comforts of natural forms to make a clock something to look forward to, not something to be dreaded.
