At first glance, the White & White Clock may appear to be a standard digital timepiece. However, a closer look reveals its true essence: a monochromatic design that embodies minimalism at its finest. Unlike traditional clocks with frames, dials, or even a backing, this clock features standalone 3D digital numbers that hover on the wall or tabletop, almost as if suspended in space.
Vadim Kibardin’s design philosophy emphasizes stripping away the superfluous to highlight the essential. The clock’s bold yet simplistic appearance achieves this by eliminating unnecessary components while enhancing the visual and functional appeal of its core element—the time display.
The White & White Clock designed by Vadim Kibardin is a minimalist 3D version of the classic clock, giving a modern twist to the traditional digital clock.
Nothing more than white frame digits on a wall/desk/counter/whatever. The intensely white digits are automatically transmuted to softer tones during the night, while the power supply is conducted through a general adapter that suits any kinds of sockets. A battery should be installed in order to maintain the time in case of mains power outages.
Currently for pre-sale at $178.80. After the 9th of May, the clock will cost an estimated $202.80.
