Design wise, our time slave is pedaling his life away producing time and energy or even life we might add. He is doomed from the very beginning to give it all away to time. In the story, we thought of the time slave as just any other man out there, trying to make sense out of life and find his way in the great labyrinth that life ultimately is. Mechanically, what we were trying to build here, was an inside view of time itself.īut you see, time does not move on its own or at least here it doesn’t as the main engine is powered by what we designed to be the time slave. The clock is also illuminated by a led band which has been added right on the edge of the wooden frame. Framed by a wooden rim, the clock offers an inside perspective, with dozens of wheels of different sizes moving at the same time as the hour and the minute hands keep rotating to indicate the passing of time. Made of giant, round, transparent glass, it spreads all over the back wall. Placed on the farmost wall of the bar, the clock impresses at first because of its size. This is why our design story starts right here, with a clock, not just any clock, but one that gives you the feeling of being inside it. Every detail has its own story which fits perfectly into our version of yet another brief history of time. A story that took almost two years to create, being unique in the world for introducing kinetic elements into a location designed for the general public. ![]() We are time! This is the story of Enigma Cafe. Time is after all the material life is made of and all the details in between which are constantly added to the common act of growing and evolution are all time constrained. ![]() Indeed, at the center of it, is the ever visited idea of the time machine, but we all have to admit that there is more to time than just time travelling. This is why in our new design story, Enigma-The Machine, we are taking time to a very personal level. Whether what we ever wanted to do was to change something or simply to give way to an impulse of sheer curiosity, the notion of time is one of the most tempting there is and it affects all of us in a most personal way.
