Furni offers DIY clock kit, kicks off design competition
Design shop Furni has already proven its own clock-making skills, and it's now giving you a chance to hone your own, recently introducing a DIY clock kit and kicking off a clock design competition for some added incentive. While you'll have to provide your own materials to make the clock unique, the $24 kit appears to include all the basics, including a display, a breakout board with the necessary buttons, and a power supply. As for the competition, while there doesn't appear to be any cash prizes involved, the winner could potentially see their creation make it into Furni's next collection, making you the talk of hobbyist clock-makers the world over (we hope you can handle the pressure). Don't dally too long though, as entires have to be submitted by September 1st.
Furni's ALBA wood and acrylic fashion clock
Fashion clocks aren't necessarily the highest form of technology, but that's not to say we don't value them: alarm clocks are after all one of the first things you see in the morning, so why shouldn't it be an aesthetically attractive one? Furni's ALBA beech wood and acrylic clock definitely falls into the latter category, with its minimalist mix of old and new materials being particularly pleasing on the eye. At only $88, it's also happily on the affordable end of the fashion clock chart. As part of Furni's spring '07 range, the ALBA will be shipping on June 1, and you can pre-order now.[Via MoCoLoCo]
