The 27gradi collection is a limited and numbered series of 21 wall clocks made ​​starting from 21 industrial fans retrieved in the wreckage, transformed and re-painted with a retro style, in perfect contrast to the cold and engineering design of the original objects. The 21 clocks are all apparently alike, but the different state at the time of recovery, the differences caused by fate and the man the discarding processing and our handwork, made ​​them unique, even for a few hidden details. The name of this collection comes from a curious detail in the process of cleaning the original pieces: on the back of each, buried under layers of dirt and rust, were incised the small inscription “27 degrees”. A simple text, devoid of any artistic or aesthetic value as indicative only of the intrinsic technical features of the object, acquires now an enormous value like a rabbit that appears from the hat, a magic sign that gives the name to this new, original and fascinating collection by useDesign.
