Created by Chicago-based sculptor Kentaro Yamato, pixidermy is Pixelated Animal Head with wooden blocks adorning the shape of wall-mounted animal heads. In fact, the word pixidermy itself has been described as a melting pot of pixelation and taxidermy. This maverick idea was borne out of the love of classic fireplaces with animal heads adorning the hearth top, and the urgency to save animals, some of which are on the brink of extinction. In describing so, Yamato points out the endangered status of rhinoceroses, saying that one does not need to hunt trophies to adorn their homes. One can enjoy the company of animal trophies without having to kill animals! Isn’t it a great idea.

Now, coming to the sculptures, the idea of presenting pixelated wooden structures is indeed one-of-a-kind. The wooden structures have been carved out in such a way that it provides a very artistic model to own and showcase. It is indeed that one piece of art that has the capability of transforming your entire house sans being too much overpowering in itself.

Explaining his inspiration behind the creation of pixidermy, Yamato says:

In this digital age, I love more and more of the tangent feeling of working with real things. Recently, I have found this method of sculpture and brought animals to life, just not by harming them. No cube is created equal so parts of my animals seem crooked sometimes but that’s part of the character.

Truly, pixidermy is a wonder. And, if you wish to have a piece in your home, you can do so from Yamato’s Etsy store.

Minimal yet elegant, the Delta Oak Wood Clock is reminiscent of an archaic sundial that utilizes its shadows to display the time. There are numerous systematic folds in the clock that interact with light to pinpoint the exact time of the day. If you are into minimalist living, the seamless design will definitely capture your senses.

Another thing that we absolutely love about this clock is that it is made of untreated oak wood. Apart from being eco-friendly, the untreated version of the wood lends this clock an archaic and unadulterated appeal, which goes on to enhance its charisma to a whole new level. It has a dimension of 12x4x8 inches – perfect for rooms of all sizes. The clock is battery-operated – you just need an AA battery for it. However, it is not included in the box.

The Delta Oak Wood Clock has been priced at $118. Although the pricing may seem to be pretty steep, for a clock that also doubles as a unique showpiece (rather a showstopper?) for the house, the price angle is pretty justified. There are also not many competitors of this one-of-a-kind clock yet in the market, which makes the clock really distinctive. So, if you like the Delta clock, wait no more and get hold of yours today. You can also order it online at Design Milk.
