Clockwork Snow by Tjep

27 November 2010

It’s four weeks to Christmas… so here are some images of a Christmas window display by Dutch designers Tjep. for a department store in Milan, Italy.

Called Clockwork Snow, the installation features a winged heart in the middle of a show window, whilst cogs attached to rods appear to fall like snowflakes around it.

The piece was created for La Rinascente on Milan’s Piazza Duomo.

Here’s a tiny bit of text from the designers:

Clockwork Snow

Mechanical gears seem to drop from heaven like icy snowflakes, crystallizing into a magical machine frozen in time. The gears represent our rational world, but here they transcend the purely utilitarian to become a romantic, haunting dream.

Tjep. was invited amongst six other international artists and designers to create a Christmas window for Italy’s most famous department store: La Rinascente on Piazza Duomo in Milano.
