A wall clock that you see many times a day. There are various tools for checking the time, such as mobile phones and personal computers, but the presence that always stands quietly on the wall of the living room or study room gives us a sense of security. At first glance, the wall clock made by Riki Watanabe, who is known as one of Japan's leading product designers, has a standard design, but we are very particular about the size and balance of the numbers, and we pursued that they are familiar with everyday life and that anyone can easily see the numbers. It is a clock.
The commitment hidden behind simplicity
Riki Watanabe has always considered the people who use it, from large interiors such as furniture to small products such as wristwatches. Among them, the clock has been designed as a life work by considering it as the most familiar instrument that accurately conveys the invisible flow of life, and thinking about how to make this instrument closer to the user. It is an item.
The wall clock RIKI RING CLOCK is the final work that Mr. Watanabe once separated the clock design in 1981. The exquisite balance between the short hand with a round ring like glasses and the orange second hand gives a reinterpretation of Mr. Watanabe's antiques and time recognition. A wall clock with an attractive "feeling of omission" that has been pursued by pursuing the various possibilities of modern clocks.
Aluminum is used for the frame for a lighter impression. It is a watch with a mysterious charm that fits comfortably in a natural space where wood is precious and in a modern space that is left untouched. It is a wall clock that is recommended for those who are looking for a clock that is simple but important, and that you want to use for a long time even if the interior changes.
Industrial design master
Designer Riki Watanabe was a pioneer who brought about innovation in the early days of postwar Japanese design.
In the 1940s, when design wasn't commonplace, he created a number of masterpieces that designed the origins and functions of design. The design of watches is a lifework for Riki Watanabe, and based on the design base that the appearance must be light no matter how thick letters and hands are used, many watches that are loved over time have been produced.
In addition, in modern times, we often touch the design of Watanabe Riki in our daily lives, and in addition to watches, we have also been involved in many product designs in service facilities such as hotel interiors, chairs, furniture, and public places. It was.
"Interior design can well enter the world of" fiction "like stage sets. However, the space and time created by the stage and the actors must be something that the audience has overcome the fiction. The fiction can be seen. 』\ Riki Watanabe, a designer proud of Japan who left these words. I feel that Riki Watanabe's "Riki" sign and passion for design are firmly engraved on the items of Riki Watanabe, which was designed by a designer who has been active all his life until he passed away at the age of 101.
