Clock this

Q: What do Montreal, Eindhoven and Melbourne have in common? A: The answer is Puur, a new young design firm that's based in those three cities, with manufacturing happening - for the most part - here in Canada. Their line is defintely on the modern side, but the couple of items I picked below that are brand new for '09 have a slightly more accidental vibe that I find really appealing.

The large-scale Earthquaked clock, designed by Frank van de Ven, messes around with our ideas of time and fear of natural disasters. While Blaas, a multi-functional bookshelf by Dripta Roy and Frank van de Ven, is a cartoon-y shape of a face and a thought bubble finished in a glossy black that's ready to hold all sorts of bits and pieces. To see more from Puur make sure to download their portfolio here.
