The Tie Clock is U+’s (Umbra’s higher-end division) latest repurposing product. Designed to give Goodwill ties a second life fanned out as a clock face, the style becoming the face of green design (reuse and cascade design). Not sure of the end result, it feels “design schoolish” and immature. With this said, I do think that this piece is coming from a good place conceptually and that the style is worth exploring.
