Sorana Black Acrylic Wall Clock

Layered circles in black acrylic, set at slightly different depths so the piece casts its own shadows across the wall behind. In a single flat colour, that layering is the only decoration, which is what keeps it firmly in the Scandinavian register rather than tipping into ornament.

Black on a pale wall is a strong graphic choice and the clock is designed to carry it: the matte finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, so the form reads as a silhouette from across a room and the markers stay legible without needing contrast colour. Acrylic is lighter than glass or metal at this size, so the clock hangs from a single plasterboard fixing without special hardware, and it is easy to reposition if the first spot proves wrong.

The movement is quiet quartz, so there is no tick to notice in a bedroom or a study at night. It hangs from a single fixing and runs on a standard battery. Give it clear wall space, since the layered edges are the whole point and get lost when the clock is crowded between shelves or picture frames. Dust the matte surface with a soft dry cloth. Avoid household sprays and anything abrasive, since they haze acrylic and matte black shows every scratch.
