Achille Castiglioni, one of the great Italian designers of the last century, believed an object should do its job with nothing extra. The Firenze clock he designed for Alessi shows it: a plain black face, clear markings and slim hands. You can read it from across a room in a glance.
Where it works
- Kitchens: where you actually look at a clock while cooking.
- Studies and home offices: a calm alternative to checking your phone.
- Hallways: a useful last look before you head out the door.
Practical details
It runs on a quartz movement and a battery, so it needs no cord. The body is lightweight ABS, so a single hook or screw is enough to hang it.
Pair it with another long-lived Alessi design, the 9093 kettle, or browse all of Alessi.
