      Why We Chose This
      An iconic design from 1987, the Contrattempo Clock was conceived by Raul Barbieri and Giorgio Marianelli. Both designers studied architecture at Politecnico di Milano prior to meeting in 1974 while working for Ettore Sottsass at the Olivetti Industrial Design Department. They went on to form a business together, the Barbieri e Marianelli Architetti Studio, where they created designs characterized by a mix of playfulness and functionality.
