The idea of making the Atlas Clock started with inheriting a “Friesche staartklok” from a family member with the characteristic Atlas figure on top of the clock together with 2 Phemes. Atlas is holding the sky, and since you can check the time by the position sun, moon and stars they used the imagery on clocks.
Not many of these type of symbolic features are used in modern objects wich I think is unfortunate. I’m fascinated by the decorative visual language and complex stories they’re telling. So the reason I created this piece is to preserve the symbolic meaning behind the Atlas figure.
The clock is made out of maple wood and lasercut stainless steel
