Just a quick glance at this bright timepiece-and-timer help let you coordinate how much longer the turkey needs in the oven and when the guests will begin to arrive for dinner. Bai design has a sweet little collection of retro-styled clocks at affordable prices, available for purchase from CSN.
While it may be true that most modern kitchen appliiances have a dedicated countdown clock, we love the look of these retro timers from Kikkerland. Two faces let you keep track of dueling recipes at once to make sure everything comes out just right at the buzzer.
We've been big fans of Kitsune Noir's creative collaborations (and the culture blog by the same name, run by Bobby Solomon) for a while now, so it's no surprise that his latest endeavor is so darn cool. The Neverend Clock is a limited edition project with Brooklyn-based artist Dan Funderburgh and Montreal-based design company Furni, which features detailed laser etching on a Russian birch plywood face, evoking and modernizing the look of classic timepieces.
If you live in San Francisco you've likely walked past Meteor Lights a few times without noticing the small storefront on 17th Street and Guerrero. This cool studio allows you to completely customize a retro-styled shade—drum, tiered, cone, or square—in a myriad of hand-dyed colors and patterns to complement your exisiting lamps and fixtures.
This clock seems to represent—boldly and graphically—how we feel sometimes, all jumbled numbers piling up while the hands of the clock keep ticking around and around. Running late is no fun, but designer Dario Serio's playful design shakes up the standard circular formation while still allowing you to keep tabs on the time. Available in the US at Unica Home.
