Home Away

I just fell in love with this gorgeous dual alarm clock, Home Away.

It was designed by Kitmen Keung, a designer who lives and works in Vancouver, Canada.

Dual clocks are a practical tool for people who spent time away from home, because of work or travel. Keung has given the two clocks different degrees of color contrast. Home is high in contrast, the Away clock is vague – mimmicking the distance away from home. Additionally, each clock has its own unique alarm sound.

To be honest, I think I would use the faint face as the Home clock instead… just feels more natural. What do you think?

    Lovely. I agree, though, the home face should be faint.

    Yes, I agree also. It is logical. Especially as this is a “travel clock,” yes?

    totally agree…home is always in the back of the mind…no matter where in the world you are.

    I suppose it depends whether the clock is meant for the person travelling or the person waiting for them at home.

    Nice. But it should say HERE and THERE instead. More flexible.
