Lemnos fun pun clock YD14-08-S Wall Clock • Learning Clock for Children • Plywood Case

The Lemnos fun pun clock YD14-08-S is an analogue wall clock crafted from high-quality plywood, developed specifically as an educational learning clock for children. The name "fun pun" derives from the Japanese pronunciation of minutes, where the suffix alternates between "-fun" and "-pun" depending on the number of minutes. Designer Yoko Dobashi created the clock in collaboration with the Japan Montessori Research Institute, based on the concept of teaching children to read an analogue clock intuitively and playfully.

The round case, measuring 25.4 cm in diameter, is made from natural plywood and fitted with a glass crystal. The dial is deliberately divided into two zones: hour numerals are placed on the inner ring so that the shorter hour hand can be matched more easily, while minute values appear on the outer ring where the longer minute hand points. This thoughtful layout makes the clock particularly child-friendly and earned it the prestigious Good Design Award in 2017. A quiet quartz movement ensures precise timekeeping.
