Clock design hasn’t changed much in its fundamentals for generations. The round face, the numbered ring, the hands that sweep from hour to hour, these conventions are so deeply embedded that most people don’t question them. The clock is a functional object, and like most functional objects, its form tends to follow a well-established script. Most designers accept that arrangement. The rare few who don’t tend to produce something genuinely worth paying attention to.
The Sinking Clock started as a self-imposed creative exercise: how much could you distort or take away from a clock without costing it the ability to tell time? That question became a limited-edition timepiece that looks exactly as its name suggests, as if a conventional tabletop clock were being absorbed into the flat surface it’s sitting on, caught mid-sink somewhere between this world and whatever lies below it.
That effect isn’t achieved through software or projection. The clock’s own form is sculpted to create the impression that it’s disappearing into the surface it rests on. The lower portion dissolves into the plane of the desk while the readable face stays above. It’s deliberately disorienting, giving you the time while making you question what you’re actually looking at. The object reads as a clock and as something else entirely at once.
The philosophy behind it is that a clock doesn’t need to announce itself. Most homes and offices already have enough of them, ticking as quiet reminders of every passing hour. The intent was to make something that gives you the time when you need it but otherwise recedes, functioning more as a kinetic object than a conventional instrument. It’s there when you need it and something quieter when you don’t.
The body is constructed from gold PVD steel, giving it a warm finish that sits somewhere between industrial and refined. The movement is quartz and battery-operated, with nothing to wind and nothing to plug in. At 19.14cm x 15.39cm x 13.37cm, it fits comfortably on a desk or nightstand without dominating the space around it. Each piece is handmade to order, numbered, and can be personalized, meaning no two feel entirely alike.
On a bedside table, it does something most clocks don’t: it draws attention not for how loudly it announces the time, but for how strangely it sits there. On a desk, the same thing happens. You notice it, look closer, and the question of how it works starts to matter more than whatever hour it’s currently showing. That quality is either an annoyance or a distinction, depending on how much you appreciate being puzzled by an object.
The Sinking Clock is a handmade piece in an era when handmade things are genuinely rare in the product world, shaped by mid-century American design sensibility and Japanese minimalism in equal measure. The result doesn’t feel like either tradition directly, which is part of what makes it difficult to place in any familiar category. For a clock, that might be the most interesting thing it can be: useful and genuinely puzzling at the same time.

Hot-desking has quietly redefined what it means to have a workspace. Workers no longer have a corner to call their own; they arrive, claim a free surface, settle in, and pack everything back into a locker at the end of the day. It can feel like camping at your own job, and the accessories being designed around it reflect just how thoroughly the modern office has shifted.
Leitz’s Hanging Desk Organizer addresses one of the most specific problems of that routine: the transition from locker to desk. The idea is fairly simple. The organizer sits in a locker overnight, gets carried to whichever surface is free in the morning, and clips onto the desk’s edge so everything stays within reach without claiming more surface area than necessary. It’s designed for a habit that isn’t going away.
The hanging mechanism is the core of the design. A metal bracket with a patent-pending adjustment system grips the desk’s edge and can be sized to accommodate different tabletop thicknesses, from 1.8cm to 5cm. That range covers most modern slab desks, so the fit tends to be secure regardless of the office furniture. No tools, no adhesive, nothing to set up at the start of each day.
Inside, there are two main compartments roomy enough to fit a laptop, a compact keyboard, a notebook, a water bottle, and a phone. Three elastic holders along the interior manage pens and cables, and a small removable tray corrals the smaller items that tend to get lost at the bottom of any bag. The tray lifts out and can sit flat on the desk surface independently while you work.
The beech-wood handle makes the carry feel intentional rather than makeshift. Between the locker and the desk, or between floors if your building has multiple shared spaces, you’re carrying something that behaves more like a proper tote than a repurposed storage box. At 1.2kg empty, it’s light enough to carry fully loaded, and the 7.5kg capacity means it comfortably handles a full day’s worth of gear.
The body is made from Thermofelt, which looks and feels like conventional felt but is actually a heat-formed polyester material made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic. It gives the organizer a softer, more considered presence than the hard plastic or nylon you’d normally find in office accessories, and it holds its shape well enough to stay structured even when fully loaded. Packaging is plastic-free, in keeping with the material choice.
At the end of the workday, the organizer comes off the desk, goes back in the locker, and takes up a footprint of 38cm x 19cm x 30cm, compact enough for most standard office lockers. The design keeps its usefulness outside the office too; arts and crafts supplies, hobby gear, or anything else that needs to stay organized and mobile fits the same brief just as well.
There isn’t much ceremony to it. You hang it on the desk, get to work, take it down, and put it back in the locker when the day’s over. That’s the whole point. The hot-desking workplace turned the act of setting up for the day into a ritual of its own, and the objects being designed around it are starting to feel like they belong there.
