The Salvador Clock is a modern interpretation of the clocks from Dali’s Persistence Of Memory

Designed as a contemporary homage to one of the most iconic surreal paintings of all time, the Salvador Clock drips off your countertop in signature Dali-esque fashion!

The Salvador Clock is the creation of designer Shelly Agronin, who wanted to recreate Dali’s famous melting clock in a minimalist fashion. The idea for the clock came to her in March 2020, as the world braced for a massive lockdown. “During this period, lots of people all around the world felt the time has slowed down,” Shelly said. “Liquid, melted time was the inspiration for Salvador clock.”

Designer: Shelly Agronin

What’s fun about the Salvador Clock is that even though it isn’t an exact replica of Dali’s original work, it’s still instantly recognizable. Shelly’s version comes made from a bent sheet of aluminum that lets it rest on any countertop surface and doesn’t need wall-mounting like your average clock. The clock itself comes in two variants, black with golden hands, or brushed metal with black hands. Both look equally striking, and are just as easy to read, thanks to the two slots running along on the 12 and 6 o’clock positions respectively!

The Salvador Clock is a winner of the A’ Design Award for the year 2022.

Sheep Bedside Tables Are Sheer Insanity

This unusual bedside table was inspired by the works of Salvador Dalí and made by Oscar Tusquets, an artist in Spain. He built these drawers using taxidermied sheep. Obviously.

They specifically reference this image by Dalí seen here called “Interpretation Project for a Stable-Library.” You can see the sheep cabinet on the left side of the image. And now this dude is bringing it to life. Using dead sheep. Tusquets worked with a famous French taxidermy studio in Paris, to make 21 sheep cabinets in all. Each one has bronze feet, a tabletop and a drawer for all of your stuff that you absolutely must store in a dead sheep.

There will be 20 white sheep and one black sheep with white legs, just to keep things interesting. Each cabinet will sell for about $82,000(USD). Now that’s a lot of bah bah bucks.
