Monolith is not just a table clock; it is a work of art that challenges the stereotypes associated with time and clocks. Designed by Emre Bakir, this innovative clock offers a fresh perspective on telling time, breaking free from traditional boundaries.

Inspired by the concept of space-time, Monolith draws inspiration from various sources, resulting in a design that is truly unique. Emre Bakir, along with Mustafa Karakus from Negrocobre Design Studio, aimed to create a universal clock that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries.

What sets Monolith apart is its universal appeal. Designed to be accessible to everyone, this table clock features a sleek and minimalist design that can fit seamlessly into any space. Its dimensions of 43X43X125 mm make it compact and versatile.

The display of Monolith consists of LEDs and uses PICT software, ensuring clear and precise time-telling. The surfaces of the clock are made of polished glass or plastic, adding a touch of elegance to its overall aesthetic. Additionally, Monolith comes with an alarm function and is powered by batteries, providing convenience and functionality.

Recognized for its exceptional design, Monolith was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category in 2011. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the clock's outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill.

Monolith is not just a clock; it is a symbol of breaking free from the constraints of time. Emre Bakir's design challenges the notion that time is a linear concept and showcases the multidimensional nature of time. By displaying time on two sides of the clock, Monolith reminds us that time is constantly moving and evolving.

With its universal appeal and unique perspective on time, Monolith is a testament to Emre Bakir's creativity and vision. This table clock is not just a functional object; it is a piece of art that adds a touch of sophistication to any space.
