The 365 Knitting Clock was designed by Siren Elise Wilhelmsen, a Norwegian designer based in Germany. She just graduated with a degree in Industrial Design in 2010 and has already won several awards for her creative work. Her aim is to “make design with personality and humour…” as well as offer a new kind of interaction between man and his surroundings.
“The 365 Knitting Clock was made to measure and register time in a three-dimensional form to visualize the otherwise invisible time factor that connects us all. Instead of showing time in numbers…the knitting clock aims the philosophical point of the ongoing process of time….Every passing half hour is marked by the knitting of a mesh, a full day is registered as one round around the clock and a year results in a 2-meter long scarf…The year that has past is this year’s scarf. And the coming year is the thread still unknitted.”
Wilhelmsen‘s humor is evident in the labeling of the yarn: “More Time”.
