Recharge your iPad in an elegant media rack that unites the old and the new. The dock’s form and walnut wood detailing references the traditional Dutch type of magazine rack. The white aluminum base is firmly rooted in the present. Designer Dick Van Hoff’s sly message here is that “antique” forms of communication like newspapers and magazines can peacefully co-exist with the iPad, the portable, personal news kiosk of the modern era.

‘About-Time is a clock that challenges our power of perception and intuition. Featuring a constantly changing composition, through both color and form, it invites us to view the idea of time from a fresh perspective. Three translucent circles, each one’s size equivalent to the corresponding hand of traditional clocks, pivot atop a larger white circle. The location of the circles’ outer most points refer to the time. Traditional clocks, utilizing written numbers, rely on reading the information. This clock relies solely on visual information in the form of varying colors and shapes. Time is manifested into a new and purely visual language.’
