Mini Appliance Kitchen Timer by Bengt Ek Design

/
The kitchen, in miniature. A tiny stand mixer, espresso machine, kitchen assistant or faucet sits on top of a 60-minute wind-up dial: a playful salute to the appliances that do the real work.
The Design Story
Bengt Ek Design turned the familiar shapes of the kitchen into timers you'll want to keep in view. Bright color, simple forms and a sturdy wind-up mechanism make each one part tool, part desk toy.
The red faucet adds a magnet, so it can stick to the fridge or range hood.
Why You'll Love It
Graphic, bright colors on a black dial.
A wind-up mechanism with a classic ring.
The faucet design sticks to any steel surface.
Where It's Best Placed
On the counter by the espresso machine or mixer it mimics.
On the fridge door (faucet) or a coffee bar shelf.
