SLIP WATCH
GOLD & BLACK SW04
by Nonlinear Studio
Design by Evan Clabots
This simple,
minimal watch appears to have slipped on the band. This inferred
movement gives the watch its unique character. The face crosses the
wrist band at 20 degrees, making it more ergonomic to read. The edge of
the band penetrates the casing at hours 12 and 9, making the minimal
face easier to read. A continuous 1" black leather strap slides through the back
of the watch eliminating the need for removable pins that can fail or
become lost. Case measures 38mm x 38mm square.
Designer Profile - Evan Clabots
Evan Clabots studied at both the Rhode Island School of Design
(RISD) and the University of Art and Design in Helsinki (TAIK) in
Finland. Before finishing his studies, he had received the Gersh Abraham
Award for Design Excellence from Swingline and had licensed a product
with IKEA.
In 2004, he joined the NYC based studio, Dror. As the first hire of
the fledgling studio, Clabots headed both the Product Design and
Interior Design departments. During his time at Dror he designed
products for clients including Alessi, Boffi, Cappelini, Puma,
Swarovski, and Target, and designed commercial interiors for Levi’s
Footwear, Creative Recreation, and NYC fashion retailer Atrium. His work
at Dror has been recognized twice with the Good Design award from the
Chicago Athenaeum and featured at La Triennale di Design Milan.
In 2010, Clabots founded Nonlinear Studio, a multidisciplinary
creative studio offering a broad range of services including product
design, furniture design, interior design, brand identity and art
direction. Nonlinear is focused on using the creative process as a brand
development tool, understanding the interrelation of branding, design
and media reach. The studio has worked for clients including Ralph
Lauren, NBC, Mother Industries, Ikon3 and is currently developing
projects for Design Within Reach.
In 2011, Nonlinear began producing a line lifestyle goods, starting
with its launch of the Slip Watch. Since the studio’s inception, Clabots
work has been featured internationally in the press including Fast
Company, Design Quarterly, and Surface Magazine’s “American Legion”
featuring America’s leading new creative talents.
For Clabots, design is a process of developing a complete story.
Form no longer follows function. Instead, there is an interconnected
play between what something looks like, how it works and how it
interacts with someone’s life. His process is driven by the question of
“why something is?”, not “what something is?”. Each defining element in
his work acts in context with the other. Together they form a cohesive
and compelling narrative.
