Warp - Simon Husslein

This rotating timepiece was designed for the six-storey rotunda of the Great Eastern Hotel, London. Its protruding warped forms, built by digital manufacturing, cast upright shadows of numbers to tell the time when each form is aligned with the light.

Husslein has worked on product design, interfaces, digital fonts, timepieces and furniture and now brings these diverse influences and practices together as a creative designer. He completed his studies at the Fachhochschule Darmstadt in 2000 and has designed for offices in Munich, Frankfurt and Tokyo. Working with Hannes Wettstein in Zurich, he managed projects for clients like BMW, Panasonic and Sony. He is currently studying towards a Masters Degree at the Royal College of Art in London.
