Edge Clock by HoHyeon Lim Turns Forgotten Corners into Functional Design
Published Jun 16, 2026
South Korean designer HoHyeon Lim has created Edge Clock, a simple but clever desk object that turns the overlooked corners of shelves and tables into useful, charming spaces.
Designed to lean against an edge, the clock has a rounded, weighted body that nestles into corners and also doubles as a subtle anchor for books and small objects. It has a soft and minimal design, almost pebble-like, with a circular clock face and a hollow compartment inside that can be filled with coins or other small items to adjust its weight.
The idea comes from the everyday habit of using corners to support objects. HoHyeon takes that familiar behavior and refines it into a piece of functional design, bringing together timekeeping, storage and support in one compact object. Available in a range of muted and playful colors, Edge Clock is the kind of small design detail that can change not only how a shelf or desk is used but also how it feels.
