Dutch Design Week 2015: Twilight hour

The collection is part of the exhibition Hue, Tone and Saturation – Exploring the Dimensions of Colour, a presentation of work by a group of individual designers from the Sectie C district of Eindhoven. Drawing on the innate connection between the time of day and the transitional tones of ambient daylight and aerial conditions, the clocks offer an alternative and visual means of telling the time to traditional analogue timepieces.

The pieces have a 24-hour varying circular pattern that draws on cycles of colour that Spanjers recorded. ‘Factors like juxtaposition, dust, water, geolocation and perspective determine specific hues,’ he says.
