An hourglass created using the principle of upcycling—the reuse of antique objects.
The frame is a wooden thread spool from the late 19th to early 20th centuries with a metal flange.
The visual appeal of this piece is built on the aesthetics of industrial, rustic, and wabi-sabi styles (the contrast of materials: the rough, "living" texture of century-old wood with signs of wear, a noble patina, and chips, combined with fragile glass and cool metal).
Dimensions (cm): 12.4 x 4.3.
