Fancy That: Heimat Cuckoo Clock
Posted on May 22, 2009
Filed Under Art, Design, Fancy That
There’s nothing like your first crush. And if you’re anything like us, you crush hard and often. This is where we pay homage to all things worthy of lusting after.
Michael fancies the Heimat cuckoo clock by Stefan Strumbel. Former street artist Strumbel began building his colorful clocks as a way to represent the lost concept of heimat (literally “homeland” in German). His take, however, is vastly more unorthodox than the Black Forest tradition— hand grenades and bones are featured prominently alongside more conventional motifs like deer antlers. His reinvention of German culture is drawing a wealth of admirers and garnering the praise of a certain fashion icon. Perhaps an updated lederhosen is next season’s must-have.
