From then On clocks show the passage of time using the singular qualities of precious materials.

Details: Created by Italian design studio Formafantasma for the UK’s Established & Sons, the From then On clocks are part of an installation that “provides a contemplative and subtle pairing of materials, movement and sound.” The clocks track the progress of different time intervals using various materials and objects including; Carrara marble, a textile fan, a duo of saxophones, and a brass pendulum with a shave brush.

“The designers intend to bring the viewer’s perception of time, place and object together in a defined and yet imaginary space.” says Established & Sons.

Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin are Studio FormaFantasma – two italian designers based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The work of Studio FormaFantasma touches relevant design issues such as the role of design in folk craft, the relationship between tradition and local culture, a critical approach to sustainability, and the significance of objects as cultural vectors. The studio is interested in creating a design practice that merges craft and industry, local necessity within the global context, and on a conceptual level in stimulating a more critical and conscious relationship of the user with objects.
