Woodstation Clock -- $ 175.00| Buy it here | [via Inhabitots]
Taking some visual cues from the Wood Led Clock, the seemingly blank face of the Woodstation Clock’s interface will illuminate through its veneer with a wave of a hand—thanks to its built-in motion sensor—displaying the day’s forecast, temperature, humidity, time and date. It’s designed as a kid’s toy to stimulate young minds about weather and climate change, but it’s got such a great design that I wouldn’t mind having one myself.
Material: compressed recycled wood, coated for extra strength and durability.
Dimensions: 5″L x 2″W x 9″H
Uses 4 AA batteries or an adaptor (included).
