Alarm & Emotion

Design & Emotion "movement" is, probably, the most enthusiastic initiative for product design in our decade -a great accomplishment especially in such a scattered community of designers. The alarm-clock designs below are apparently influenced by such emotional concerns, even though they may not be directly in touch with the Design & Emotion Society.

Furthermore, it is interesting how the alarm-clock is a preferred subject in studies related to emotional design. My best guess is that, this is due to their potential in engaging an interaction with the user. Anyway, the examples below are maybe the best among such projects.
