design with irregular and complex shaped surface using leather

why?


cotton, clothes, metal, wood,,
each materials have different lookings

complex curved and diped surface is usually difficult to be fabricated
CNC machining is one solution, but they need 3D predefined models
fabrication take time and cost is high in case of big products

for me, plain surface is boring!
I need complex surface even if prototype
that is today's motivation


clock with wake-up timer


remove exterior parts


remove clear plastic shield and needles


leather sheet, as clock face


needle color changed
adjust needle position for correct wake-up timing



clock face, 3D designed


plastic shiled, re-used


front, back, top panels


bottom panel, with battery case



new switches and wirings


make surface step by step sewing...


using leather material, very complex surface (posi and nega) can be made easily


DONE!!!
