The clock, a new trendy decorative accessory? – Elle Decoration

Ceramics classes, coloring books, writing notebooks… 2026 promises to be an analog era. While the French spend on average four hours in front of screens, the younger generation expresses their wish to move away from them (a little). This trend combines with the desire for a “return to oneself” observed in decoration. Minimalism and beige tones: the house becomes a refuge for the mind. In this desire for simplicity, clocks are making a comeback, far from the pressure exerted by the incessant notifications of connected watches. More subtle than wall clocks, table models fit more easily onto a shelf, desk or coffee table. Rectangular or round, chrome or pastel, here are five table clocks that will definitely take you into an analog loophole.
