Woodpecker alarm clock wakes by rapping, rapping at your chamber door

Inspired by a woodpecker, Natalie Duckett made this Alarming Clock to help signal when you should wake up and go to sleep. It has two interchangeable ‘beaks’, to let you configure what the alarm will sound like. I like the simplicity of the concept, and how pretty the resulting sound is. Not recommended for use by those mourning for lost lovers while studying ancient tomes. [via theo’s gallimaufry]
