Overview
Meet the Hjorring, a glass hourglass held between two posts on a round brass-tone metal stand. Rather than lifting it out, you simply tip the glass over on its pivots and the pale sand starts to run again. Embossed end plates give it a vintage, nautical feel, and it makes a handsome piece for a desk, a study shelf or a gift for someone who has everything. It measures 15 minutes, handy for a focused work sprint, a brew or a break from the screen. About the name: Hjorring is a town in Vendsyssel in the far north of Denmark, a short drive from the North Sea coast.
Materials
- Brass-tone metal

Good to know
