Alessandro Zambelli’s DINN is a ‘musical clock’ for the Italian brand Diamantini&Domeniconi, that takes inspiration from La Campanella (The Little Bell), Paganini’s most famous concerto, in which the orchestra’s hand bell plays a key role. The round face of the clock takes bare essentials almost to an extreme, and within the circle is one bright, attention-grabbing spark of originality – it’s a small, unexpected bell that contrasts brassily with the essential face of the timepiece. The precious detail stands out as the clock’s dining ‘heart’. No numbers, no patterns, just pure minimalism and an eye-catching detail! Genius!
