Ononi

Ononi \ paper clock

client \ academic

timeframe \ 2 weeks (fall 2013)

challenge \ using only paper, and no adhesives, construct a base for a clock mechanism

components \ paper clock kit, packaging

I immediately wanted to work with waves of paper that fanned out to support and suspend the clock piece. By combining different thicknesses and lengths of paper, I was able to avoid using any tabs or locking mechanisms as well. The final form resembled a peeled onion, from which I derived the name Ononi.
