For a quirky statement piece, the Hooga Gyda ($19.90) is a more regal piece of decor than a humble clock. The thick golden border resembles a pretty daisy, or – for those filled with child-like wonder – an opened up slinky.

It never looks the same from different angles, giving the illusion of a 2-dimensional appearance when viewed straight on. The motion of the sun will also cast intriguing shadows throughout the day when shining through the rungs.
