Sophie, adjustable shape wall clock

Layla Mehdi Pour will exhibit an adjustable shape wall clock, at Indipendent Hub exhibition presented during milan design week 2014, Via Savona 53.

When our feelings change, it also changes the perception we have of time. Layla Mehdi Pour designs a wall clock, consisting of two overlapping surfaces with twelve lines each. The lower dial is attached to the clock mechanism, but the upper one can easily rotated: this way you can get unexpected plays of shadows and different configurations of the object, which can be changed at any time.

Sophie, named after the sweet child of Hayao Miyazaki's cartoon Howl's Moving Castle, who changes appearance according to her feelings, is perfectly in line with the designer’s ironic and cheerful spirit.

It is available in a wide variety of colors, all bright and vivid.

Pardis, modular hanging wall vases

If you’d like to have a garden on your home’s wall, this might be your first step towards it. Recalling the Persian carpet’s aim to reproduce heaven on earth, these modules give you the freedom to make your own design, adapting the home spaces to your taste. It's triangular, a shape that let you choose the best way to mount them.

Dan, oil and vinegar dispenser

Bringing fun also in the kitchen, the concept of Dan oil-vinegar set is to achieve a visual but also tactile recognition of the object, and it does so through the materialization of the letters. Without falling into obvious, the oil container callout has the shape of the letter "O", while that of vinegar recalls an "A". An ingenious and at the same time so immediate way to distinguish and make new objects that we use daily, giving them an original shape but with clean and simple lines.
