Moritoyoshi Plywood Clock
$120.00
Designer Moritoyoshi recognized plywood's warmth, its grain, its quiet unpretentiousness — and let those qualities speak. The face is the wood itself, unstained and unadorned, entirely at ease with what it is. Crisp aluminum hands. A silent sweeping second hand.
In continuous production for over twenty years, it has outlasted trends by ignoring them entirely.
Plywood sourced from West Virginia, assembled by hand in Japan. Recipient of Japan's Good Design Long Life Award — design that endures because it was conceived to last.
Takata Lemnos, Japan. Plywood, glass, aluminum. 12" diameter × 1.9" depth. Batteries included.
These carefully chosen and crafted pieces represent a considered mix of the esoteric and the highly pragmatic. Many of these simple things reflect the hand of the artisan or the quiet genius of the inventor. They are useful in ways that are difficult to quantify but, if pressed, we would say they make life a little more efficient and a lot more beautiful.
