Transformer: The Foldable Analog Clock

A Unique and Creative Timepiece Designed by Vadim Kibardin

The Transformer Clock is a clear and minimalistic desk-wall clock that was created by Vadim Kibardin. The project started in January 2015 and finished in January 2016 in Prague.

Transformer Clocks have a black or white-colored body with a framed-spring construction of eleven sheets that can fold or unfold to display or minimize the clock face. This clever design allows the clock to compact into a small package, reducing delivery costs and making it easy to transport. The Transformer Clock enables you to demonstrate your creativity by creating the shape and color range of the dial to suit any type of interior.

The clock's full circular face uses all eleven sheets to highlight the positioning of the hour, minute, and second hands. However, instead of a standard twelve-sector clock dial, the Transformer Clock allows you to follow your imagination and model your own personal clock appearance. With eight unique color combinations, you can choose the one that best reflects your style and personality. The Clock comes in Black or White, Monochrome, Multicolor, and Spotted color systems, allowing you to feel the wide range of characteristics associated with this design.

The Transformer Clock is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. It can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall, adding a colorful presence to any room in your home or office. The sharp lines and contrast in colors between the hands and the background ensure that it is always easy to read the time.

The clock's body is made of ABS plastic with a matte treatment, making it surprisingly light and easy to install. The blades are made of PVC or PP, and the clock comes with a high-quality quartz movement, guaranteeing perfect and reliable design. The compact movements are powered by AA batteries and were specifically designed for use with innovative clocks like the Transformer.

The Transformer Clock has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2016. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate exceptional expertise, innovation, and artistic skill. The Transformer Clock's unique features and strong technical characteristics make it a remarkable timepiece that introduces positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
