Hasta La Ideas

by Julie Wolfson

An example of function-inspired form, the Bedol Water Clock takes the water-powered capabilities of the original and adds a new drop-shaped design. The new perky look conjures a miniature wave (or is it a fin?) in a brilliant blue color and, like the original, it tells accurate time without the need for batteries or an electrical cord.

A squeeze of lemon will make it run even longer between water changes.

The Drop Clock sells for $30 and will be available mid-August from Bedol’s online store.
