There aren’t many design collectives specializing in alarm clocks, but Montreal-based Furni has done just that, and in doing so, garnered praise and attention across the globe.
Seemingly just a clock in a box, the beauty of Furni’s KNOX alarm clock is in the details. Invisible feet make it float, the radius of the round-cornered acrylic face uniformly cuts through top, bottom and side pieces of the lap-jointed outer casing, and the faux-speaker texture perfectly balances the under-sized, yet beautifully placed digital read out.
