TYPE O’CLOCK merges graphic design and craftsmanship with a distinctive focus on type-driven clock displays. Each collection combines an innovative concept of clock materiality and production with contributions from renowned type designers and studios. The result is a unique and timeless object that combines the precision of typography with the craftsmanship of ceramics. Each clock is made by hand from ceramic in small batches over several hours. In the process, each clock is cast separately and embossed with the dial specially designed by international type designers. Founded in 2022 by Düsseldorf-based designers Lukas Schulz and Jimu Kobayashi, TYPE O’CLOCK emphasizes exceptional quality and the creation of small, carefully curated editions produced locally. The inaugural collection explored embossed, handcrafted ceramic as its primary medium for the clocks, featuring designs by an international roster of designers with highly versatile approaches to typography. Building on this foundation, the second collection will pivot to engraved stainless steel as its core material, showcasing a curated selection of Düsseldorf-based designers to highlight the richness and diversity of the local design scene.
