this show highlights its charm and features products that use it.
One example is THOMSON PAPER, a designer clock that beautifully contrasts
the texture of paper and the feel of wood. It uses MERMID for the face of a handsome wall clock.
The numbers on its face have been slightly rounded along the edges using a special die-cutting process pioneered by John S.
Thomson, giving them a soft appearance.
