Designer Young Bok Kim has invented an hourglass type fixture that works to show time via light leaking form the top container to the bottom receptacle. There are a lot of gimmick-y gadgets out there, but this one is pretty sweet! You can adjust the time by twisting the unit – and as your time runs out, luminance increases at the bottom and decreases at the top, having replaced the typical sand with LEDs.
Cool. I want to get one of these! I don’t know if there is an alarm or anything that sounds once the unit has completely run your time, but I can imagine a slight bit of confusion with when the time is actually out, especially in a lit room.

Thanks, Yanko Design!
