10 Cuckoo-centric Housewares
From Punked Out Cuckoos to Bedside Prophylactic Dispensers:
Meghan Young — Nov 17, 2009 — Art & Design
Revamping convention is a recurring theme that is necessary, not only because it flexes the creative muscle of designers who don’t want to ruin tradition, but also to simply keep that tradition alive. The cuckoo-centric housewares in this collection take the well-known bird, particularly in its clock form, and re-imagine it. Take a look at these clocks and furnishings to inspire your own renovation of tradition.
