For sale: Optic 02 table alarm clock, designed by the brilliant Joe Colombo and produced by the legendary Italian company Alessi. Originally conceived in 1970 as part of Colombo's visionary project, "Environment of the Future," this object embodies the futuristic and radical spirit of 1970s Italian design better than any other.
