Watch our talk with YOY for Rado Design Week | Dezeen

Описание: Dezeen spoke to Japanese design studio YOY about its collaboration with watch brand Rado in the first talk as part of Rado Design Week.

Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs spoke to Naoki Ono and Yuki Yamamoto, the founders of the Tokyo-based studio, about their special edition of Rado's True Square watch, which was exclusively revealed earlier today in a video filmed by Dezeen at their studio in Tokyo.

To create the watch, which is called Undigital, YOY drew from digital watch faces in order to create a design that merges the analogue and digital.

Using Rado's high-tech ceramic material, the designers created a minimal black watch contrasted by a set of bright white dials influenced by the classic seven-segment displays of digital watches.

"As everything in the world, including watches, becomes digital, we wanted to explore the curious opposite: transforming a digital thing into an analogue one," the designers explained in the video unveiling the watch, which we published earlier today.

YOY, founded by Ono and Yamamoto onboard a flight to Milan Design Week in 2011, is a design studio specialising in furniture design, lighting and interior design.
