Amorphous Ambiguous Time-Tellers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Venn Diagram Clock Shows You the Time in Primary Colors

— March 9, 2011 — Art & Design
If you're more aesthetics-based than functionality-based when it comes to your home decor, then the Venn Diagram Clock might strike your fancy.

With its design inspired by the visual categorization tool, the Venn Diagram Clock is a boldly colorful statement meant to bring cheerfulness and vibrancy into any space it adorns. With that being said, however, it's definitely one clock that comes with a tough learning curve. Designer Louie Rigano designed the clock to reflect time based on the positioning of three colored disks which create new colors as they overlap throughout the course of the day.

If you can figure out which positions and colors mean which times, however, the Venn Diagram Clock would be one seriously cool conversation-starter.
Trend Themes
1. Color-coded Time-telling - There is an opportunity for designers to create visually appealing clocks that tell time using color-coded systems.
2. Interactive Clocks - There is a growing trend for clocks that require interaction from users to tell the time, providing an opportunity for designers to create innovative time-telling devices.
3. Ambiguous Time-telling - Ambiguous time-telling devices are gaining popularity, creating new opportunities for designers to create unique and unconventional time-telling devices.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - There is an opportunity for interior designers to incorporate unconventional time-telling devices such as color-coded and interactive clocks into their designs.
2. Product Design - Product designers can take advantage of the trend towards ambiguous time-telling devices to create unique and innovative time-telling products.
3. Home Decor - With an increasing demand for aesthetically appealing time-telling devices, there is an opportunity for home decor companies to create visually stunning and engaging clocks for the home.
