Trace of Time Whiteboard Serves as Ticking Appointment Keeper
Rose Nazarali — July 6, 2009 — Art & Design
Trace of Time is a white-board clock that allows you to write your day’s appointments, and then erase them once they’ve happened.
The clock is made from stainless steel with a glass face. The singular hour and minute hand also have a built-in eraser, so you always have a clean and fresh clock for the next day.
Implications - Multifunctional pieces such as the self-erasing clock are sure to meet the demands of today's busy adult consumer. In today's fast-paced society, single-serving products simply are not worth a chaos-subjected consumer's money. Thus, companies can begin looking into combining their products' purposes to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
