Scent of Time


Today the fine folks at Yanko Design wrote about a clock designed by Hyun Choi that allows for scents to be exuded to indicate time. The idea is "if we are able to perceive the time by other sensory organ, we might be able to feel the time, which will bring a completely different thinking and behaviour. The numerous holes are the exit of the fragrance. If we insert fragrance containing capsule we want into the corresponding time on the backside, it will make smell at the time.
