			<p>Everyone might remember old manual whisks used by our grandmothers.<br />
Complicated construction of those objects remind more a driller than a kitchen utility.<br />
Jaro went back in time to this old construction and redefine it by replacing<br />
sharp mechanism by round, organic form that is not only easier to clean<br />
but also ergonomic in its form.</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;I believe that at the time of pervasive technology, </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>there is still a place for manual objects. </strong></em><br />
<strong><em>I feel more spirit in things that requires our touch,</em><br />
<em>muscle-power or time&#8221;</em>&#8211; said Kose.</strong></p>
<p>At a first glance, the Invader “gear” might appear a complicated design,<br />
but on closer scrutiny, its incredible simplicity becomes apparent.<br />
Invader’s mechanism based on half of spheres is a true heart of this design<br />
&#8211; as revolutionary as it is surprisingly functional.<br />
It looks simple, but it works well and gives enough speed even to beat egg whites.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Why I named it Invader? When I place first prototypes in a row,</em><br />
<em>they looked like an invasion from outer space&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>Finely balanced shape of the Invader whisk<br />
takes its roots in the organic form of the squid.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">Instead of following the consumption fever we could<br />
focus on rediscovering items we already purchased.<br />
This is not an eco-trend but a true eco-awareness.</p>
<p>Did you ask yourself how many beautiful watches<br />
you are hiding in the drawer?<br />
At least a few- am I right?</p>
<p>The Watch-Tower is a small ceramic holder invented to show<br />
every watch that normally is hidden from people’s sight.<br />
It’s a simple object dedicated for everyone who<br />
is looking for a design that combines natural materials,<br />
minimal aesthetic, usability that involves customer as a co-designer<br />
and the endless possibilities of customisation.<br />
It is the user’s decision what kind of watch<br />
will be placed inside the Watch-Tower.<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore, the user is the most important<br />
and inseparable part of this design concept.</span></p>
<p>The Watch-Tower is made entirely from<br />
glazed natural clay. The technique that<br />
is well known for nearly 30 0000 years!<br />
The casting mould is­ based on a hand-made sculpture,<br />
to reach the most natural look in an industrial<br />
production process. This is the reason why<br />
the Watch-Tower with its wavy sides looks<br />
like a one-off piece of art.</p>
<p>You don’t need to buy another watch,<br />
you just have to use the one you hide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Edition </strong>SMALL PRODUCTION<strong><br />
Dimensions </strong>6,5 x 5 x 17 cm / 2,5 x 1,9 x 6,7 inch<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are two different theories of “time”.<br />
One theory is describing time as a circle. Second one is telling us that time is a line.<br />
Philosophers cannot decide which theory is more accurate and to let us be even<br />
more confused, they say that both of these theories could be right.</p>
<p>I decided to join these thoughts in one design.<br />
To show the “circle of time” and the “timeline” in one object.</p>
<p>Imagine that you are locked up with a clock in a room without windows.<br />
You cannot see more than 12 hours constantly repeating their path.<br />
And now imagine that someone puts flower in this room…<br />
Now you can see what time means for such a fragile plant with its short lifetime.</p>
<p>By connecting clock with I wanted to show that we have to<br />
take care of the quality of the time we have.<br />
We can see time as a circle when every day seems the same<br />
but we cannot forget that our time is not infinite.</p>
