'hidden clock' by formafantasma

the italian designers of formafantasma created the multi-layer hidden collection for the netherlands' droog

design. the collection features a clock and a table each packaged within multiple layers of boxes. the clock

piece began using a basic house clock as a starting point. formafantasma wanted to ?move packaging from

the level of the image to the level of content?. thus the clock is packaged in a series of boxes made from the

cheap material OSB, a type of wood which has a short lifespan, stretching the act of opening to a point

where the objects loses its value and the packaging becomes the real object. the designers even treated the

wood with laser-cut shapes and inlays to transform it into a more precious material. the table is also made

from OSB and features a box embedded into its top. the box is covered with inlays of the tools used to

make the table and inside wood chips from the making of the table reveal the process behind the piece.
