Tilt Cuckoo Clock by nendo

A collaboration between clock-maker Lemnos and the Japanese design studio Nendo, this minimalist cuckoo clock flips the concept of a clock upside down. Part birdhouse, part modernist object, the Tilt Cuckoo Clock marks the hour with a little cuckoo bird, which peeks out with a gentle chirp. Place it on a tabletop or hang it on the wall; the versatile design lends itself to every kind of setup.

Nendo is a Japanese design firm founded in 2002 by Oki Sato. Recognized worldwide for its simple and minimalist Japanese-Scandanavian aesthetics, Nendo works with numerous international brands. Its name is a play on the Japanese for "playdoh" or clay, and takes after the shape-shifting nature of the toy.
