Because Time Won't Stand Still
Jonas Damon's latest creation, the Open Edition clock for Areaware, deconstructs the standard L.E.D. box into four separate modules, creating the illusion that one might actually have power over time. 'You can play around with the order of the digits,' said Mr. Damon, a Manhattan-based designer, 'and then time's completely out the window.'
It isn't the first time Mr. Damon, who worked with the British designer Tom Dixon before establishing his own office in 2001, has taken on the L.E.D. clock. He previously developed quirky timepieces for the home accessories companies Umbra and Habitat. The clock will be available next week for $85 at Moss, 146 Greene Street (Houston St.), (866) 888-6677, www.mossonline.com; www.areaware.com.
