Product Review: Van Heumen Table Clock

Designer Sjoerd van Heumen came up with this "table clock" which, in my opinion, doesn't look all that great on a table- it does, however, look fantastic in a book case. Here's why:







The quality of this product (I have it in black, see first picture) isn't great, and looking at the price (€18,98 - $28), you understand why. The exterior is made of paper and glued together and not the most stable construct in the history of clocks. However, the clockwork works just fine and when this clock stands in the middle of books, it doesn't get a chance to become unglued.

Personally, I find the idea and design to be understated and intelligent, the clock works and it's cheap.
