Walnut & Steel Oval Pendulum Wall Clock

Walnut 24 Pendulum Clock with Steel Oval · 24x10x2 inches

This wall clock has a walnut veneer background with raised oval face of hand-textured stainless steel. The round stainless steel pendulum swings behind an oval cutout in the background.

Leonie 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'.
