Black & Copper Spike Pend Clock

This wall clock has a black-on-black painted wooden background with a rectangular face and pointed pendulum of hand-colored copper. The pendulum swings behind a triangular cutout in the background. The perfect clock for a narrow space. 22x7x2 inchesLeonie Lacouette manages to strike a balance between concepts and influences that otherwise might seem like polar opposites-her elegant clocks successfully reconcile the strict geometries of Minimalism with a warm, approachable palette of colored patinas on the copper and nickel that predominate her designs. Created from a basic language of circles, squares, ovals, and rectangles, the clocks are not only beautiful, but often playful as well. In one design, the otherwise hidden movement of the pendulum swings gently back and forth, revealed by a perfectly circular hole punched through the face of the piece to create a dynamic (and unexpected) game of 'hide-and-seek'.
