Ipno

industrial design

Inspired by Greek mythology and the god of sleep Hypnos, Italian industrial designer Alessandro Zambelli has created this cute new table clock with an almost hypnotic feature: an internal pendulum that, functioning as a balance, sways the case in perpetual motion and transforms aptly-named Ipno into a ‘rocking’ clock.

It is like a contemporary evolution of the pendulum clock of past ages, but wry, dynamic and creative. Here at long last is a clock free to move in space and support its own harmonic motion.

Designed for Diamantini & Domeniconi, the clock first went on show at Maison et Objet in Paris from 6–10 September. It can stand alone, dispensing wall-mounting, and is available in its natural birch case finish, painted in various colours, or alternatively in walnut or mahogany.
