Siren’s design project can best be described as a combination of a knitting machine and a cuckoo clock. The project form to visualise the otherwise invisible time factor, every half hour will be marked with a mask, every day with 48 masks and a calendar year ends with a about 2 meters long scarf.

The jury said; “The outcome of Developing time – Time Developing can either be interpreted in an artistic or design oriented realm of understanding, but the project is so different that it carries potential to show the world something truly innovative.”
The jury wishes to give Siren, time to design time and Siren will use her time at the Danish Art Workshops to bring the project closer to the user.
We look very much forward to follow the young talent and to showcase the innovative project in our Flagship store from the 25th. of November to the 9th. of December.
