obaku harmony
the obaku designers Obaku Harmony is an exclusive range of watches based on the desire to combine the traditions for simplicity found in both Western and Asian cultures. The watches are designed by two danish designers, Lau Liengård Ruge & Christian Mikkelsen. Lau Liengård Ruge is full of praise for the classic Danish designers, who are renowned for the simplicity and functionality of their work. Nevertheless, he also fully appreciates the fantastic inspiration to be found in high-tech contemporary design idioms. ”For me, the important thing is to produce a design that stands the test of time. I’m no fan of quick-fire, flavour-of-the month solutions. I want to really get to grips with a design, and focus my energy on bringing it to
fruition,” he says, at the same time admitting that he is an incorrigible perfectionist. “The objective with my designs is to create products that people consider worth keeping.” Christian Mikkelsen’s work builds on inspiration from a wide selection of different sources. He gets ideas from observing the delicate details found in good craftsmanship as well as the broad swathes to be found in classic designs. His extensive experience means that he’s in a position to have faith in his own ideas. ”I really trust my own intuition about a product, and always keep the person for whom the watch is designed in mind,” he says.
