The story

Cloudnola takes the objects we all grew up with, the cuckoo clock, the station flip display and the flower vase, and rebuilds them for homes that already look considered. No carved ornaments, no novelty. Clean shapes, calm colors and a little bit of play.

The best-known piece is the Dot cuckoo clock: a round, matte clock on a wooden stand, where a little bird appears once every hour and then disappears. It's silent at night, from 11pm to 6am.
