Raawii
The Minos clock is the result of a joint project between raawii and students from the Swiss design school ECAL. The designer Manon Novelli translated the given theme of light and shadow as well as the medium of ceramics into a relief that is always revealed anew to the viewer when the ambient light changes. The relief itself is inspired by ancient sundials as well as patterns in nature, and the name Minos refers to the labyrinth-like surface of the clock. While the labyrinth of King Minos held a mythological being, Manon Novelli’s clock figuratively holds time. In an era of rushing, Minos’ subtle design invites to interpreting time more broadly and slowing down to appreciate it.
