An International Design Perspective

Our principal, Neil Sommers, recently traveled to Switzerland and Germany to advance our brand's knowledge and perspective on cutting-edge Swiss design and building techniques.

While in Europe, Neil spent time touring several CNC wood-forming factories to view how complex forms are created with features cut with a .5mm tolerance. Some other factories challenged the existing state of affairs by creating beams that could span 16 meters with limited deflection — well beyond anything we've seen in this industry.

At large, this trip has inspired Clockwork to activate designs using these new techniques, and we are thrilled to announce we will roll out products by the end of the year.
