Clock by Thorunn Arnadottir

Each bead in the necklace is 5 minutes. The whole necklace is one solar day. The orange and red ones represent the whole hours. As the wheel turns, one bead falls off and drops down the string every 5 minutes. To tell the time you count the beads from either the silver bead (midnight) or the golden bead (noon) to the last bead that fell off the wheel.

Shock proof vases

Shock Proof is a collection of existing vases upon which Tjep. has applied the ‘Do Break’ (by Droog Design) principle. When broken the vases don’t fall apart and remain watertight because of a special rubber coating that is applied to the inside. The cracks form a new superimposed decorative pattern, witness to dramatic events to which the vases may be subjected: anything from a lovers quarrel to earthquakes.
