Composed of handmade clocks that are stacked vertically, TIME interacts with Gaggenau’s brand through themes of craft and functional art objects. Being set to global time zones, the clocks highlight possibilities of connection and commonality. The design was conceptualised collaboratively between Gaggenau and designers Sikander Pervez and Raphaé Memon.

Following their installation in Gaggenau’s shopfront windows, each of the clocks were given to members of the public and given a new life.

After the period of installation, larger pieces of Beauty in the Broken will continue to be exhibited in the Ideal Standard showroom and will form a part of the brand’s archive. Remaining pieces will be returned to the factory, ground down and re-used to become road aggregate.
Isabella and the Ideal Standard team spoke to us about the design, listen here.
