Italy is a country with major cities but also, and above all, with small towns, picturesque villages rich in history, culture and unique landscapes. It is precisely these perspectives by which the designers were inspired by to give life to Town, a wall cuckoo clock that recalls the skyline of a small town with some two-storey houses with sloping roofs and a bell tower. All of it was rendered iconic, represented in a simple and material way, linear and immediate. Three volumes, made of painted wood (one black and the rest white) with different depths and heights, liven-up the village. The elements lie on 'land', on a white-painted wooden shelf, which extends beyond the bell tower, like the fields beyond the inhabited center. In this way it is possible to use Town as a vanity tray or coin tray as well. Town is, therefore, a tribute to the lesser-known places of Italy, made of simple landscapes and great charm. A light sensor automatically turns off the cuckoo sound in the absence of light.

L'Italia è un Paese di importanti città ma anche, e soprattutto, di piccole cittadine, di borghi caratteristici ricchi di storia, cultura e panorami unici. E' proprio a questi scorci che ci siamo ispirati per dar vita a Town, cucù da parete che ricorda lo skyline di un piccolo centro con qualche casa a pochi piani, con tetti spioventi, ed un campanile. Il tutto è stato reso iconico, rappresentato in modo semplice e materico, lineare ed immediato. Tre volumi, realizzati in legno verniciato (un elemento nero e i restanti bianchi) con diverse profondità ed altezze, movimentano il borgo. Gli elementi poggiano, su un 'terreno', su una mensola di legno verniciato bianco, che si estende oltre il campanile, come i campi oltre il centro abitato. In questo modo si ha la possibilità di utilizzare Town anche come porta oggetti o svuota tasche. Town è, quindi, un omaggio ai luoghi meno conosciuti del Bel Paese, fatti di paesaggi semplici e di grande fascino. Movimento al quarzo a batteria. Un sensore sensibile alla luce ferma automaticamente la suoneria in assenza di luce.
