The project
When we leave the studio for a coffee, we leave our return time on display. For these breaks, we designed an acrylic clock to let visitors know when we will be back, accompanied by a contact telephone number for the specified emergencies.
The design uses the familiar language of a clock to meet an everyday signage need. The Spanish wording “Volvemos a las” (“We’ll be back at”) gives the numbered dial and hands their purpose: rather than telling the current time, they indicate when we expect to return to the studio.
The piece is circular and transparent. Numbers run around the dial, with the wording following its upper edge and the hands standing out in black. The clock is displayed by the studio glazing, alongside a block of text with the emergency instructions and telephone number.
The return-time notice is accompanied by a contact number for the specified emergencies, keeping the informal tone of a coffee break.
