O’clock. Time Design, Design Time, was an exhibition presented at Milan’s Triennale Museum. Curated by Silvana Annicchiarico and Jan van Rossem, and designed by  Spanish-designer Patricia Urquiola.

The exhibition explored the relationship between time and design showcasing work from over 70 international artists and designers, curated into three key themes: measurement of time, time-traversing objects and the experience of time. Work included installations, products, art pieces, site-specific works and videos.

The book was produced to accompany the O’clock. Time Design, Design Time exhibition. Quins work for this show includes two design objects: Grandmother Clock and Timekeepers - objects that measure the passing of time using thread. The O’clock. Time Design, Design Time book contains images of these objects and a description of each written by curator Jan van Rossem.
