Norwegian designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen exhibited her 365 knitting clock at DMY International Design Festival Berlin. The clock includes a circular knitting machine with 48 needles, a thread spool, a thread holder, and roll of yarn. The design seeks to make time a tangible, physical thing. It moves clockwise and after one year, creates a scarf two meters long.

Exhibitors and visitors were back in droves for the 2017 Maison et Objet and so was a much-missed sense of fun, color and pattern.
Skip the tie this year! We've got 14 gift ideas for Father's Day, ranging from the fashionable to the functional to the fantastical.
Tonelli Design recently launched six new designs from a group of international designers for 2017.

It’s not easy to blend installation sculpture with functional housewares, but she has done it. I am thoroughly impressed.

You get this for someone for their birthday, and then they get a new scarf every year..no need to buy them gifts ever again (maybe except yarn, or something.)

That’s really cool…. but all I see is a knitting machine on the wall. What time is it?

Bernie Lubell Had a similar but large scale human powered device on exhibit at FACT in Liverpool last year.

Great thing!! A multi colored scarf would be even more impressive. ;-)
