Design pick: Spectrum multi-coloured wall clock from Habitat
Who? Habitat What? Designed by Jon Almond exclusively for Habitat, this Spectrum multi-coloured wall clock is inspired by the Cuisenaire rods used to teach children how to count in units. But we think it reminds us of a conch. Or perhaps abstract art. Or maybe the number six. Either way, we like how it’s open to interpretation. Priced at £40. When? Available now Where?

It has that kitschy vintage kitchen feel to it, which is sort of nice in our modern hectic lives, but is functional too. Though we dare say that even if it doesn’t get much use in your kitchen, it’ll still look pretty darn nice. When? Available now Where? Available online from Cath Kidston How?
