A MINIMAL DESK CLOCK FOR A BRAND BASED ON SIMPLICITY AND ATTAINABILITY. I CREATED A TWO PIECE CASING FOR THE SPECIFIED MECHANISM.
I EXPLORED GENERAL FORM, SIMPLICITY OF THE CLOCK FACE AND THE PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE. I DECIDED TO GIVE A SUGGESTION OF FACE AND KEEP THE MAIN PART AS ONE PIECE TO KEEP A UNIFIED LOOK.
THE MAIN CASE IS BRUSHED STEEL RE FLECTED IN THE KEY RING WHICH IS USED TO REMOVE THE BACK OF THE CLOCK, THE BACK HAS A WEDGE TO SUPPORT THE MECHANISM.
BRUSHED STAINLESS STEEL WITH A RADIAL DIRECTION ON THE FACE. THE MATERIAL CONSISTENT WITH THE KEY RING.
A CHOICE BETWEEN CORK OR OAK FOR THE BACK, LIGHT IN COLOUR AND A NATURAL CONTRAST TO THE STEEL.
THE CLOCK COMPLETES ANY DESK OR SIDETABLE. ITS SLEEK ONE PIECE DESIGN WITH INDENTS TO INDICATE THE KEY POINTS OF THE CLOCK BLENDS INTO ANY ENVIRONMENT. THE BACK A DISCRETE CHANGE IN MATERIAL FOR A SUBTLE CHANGE IN FUNCTION.

INTIAL DESIGN WORK BASED ON TALKING TO A DESIGNER FROM WILKO, BASIC RESEARCH INTO CHILD DEVELOPMENT BUT ALSO INTO THE THE BUYING HABITS OF PARENTS, FINALISATION OF PRODUCT SHOWN IN ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS.
THREE DIFFERENT PANELS; WINDOW, WALL AND SMALL WALL, EACH WITH EASY SLOTS TO FIT THEM TOGETHER, THE SLOTS JUST WIDE ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR CURVED WALLS. CAN BE MADE TO FIT AROUND A TABLE OR FREE STANDING.
CHILDREN ALWAYS HAVE MORE FUN WITH THE CARDBOARD BOX TOYS COME IN THAN THE TOY. SO BUILD IS MADE WITH CARDBOARD THE PRODUCT IS AFFORDABLE AND NOT SOMETHING THE PARENTS NEED TO BE PRECIOUS OF. IT ALSO MEANS IT CAN BE RECYCLED AND DRAWN ON.
