Hula Hula Clock

Filed under: Decor

Whether you love this Hula Hula clock by Tony Wurman for its beauty or its construction, it earns your appreciation either way. Looking at it you get a crazy mix of colored stripes turned every which way on pieces seamed together in a way commonly used in traditional glass work. And although it looks like glass (reflective and luminescent) and acts like rubber (flexible and resilient), it's actually made of a special blend of eva hotmelt adhesive plastic. Hand crafted in New York city, there is no waste and all excess materials are recycled and reused. The Hula Hula clock measures 12" in diameter and is available for $246.

Wunderwurks Clocks

The Tempest is a clock for someone who values art slightly more than ability to easily tell the time. It is one of the to Wunderwurks Clocks, which are creations of the industrial designer Tony Wurman and are made completely out of hot glue. The unusual material means that the clocks are flexible and durable, but they are also each made by hand, so that durability does not come at the cost of uniqueness. The Tempest ($160) is about 10-in across and is primarily green in color, while the larger Hula Hula clock ($425) is about 17-in.
