Celebrating 25 Years of Introducing International Design to Australia & New Zealand
Gingko joined the Design Mode family in 2017, bringing with it a brand that adds intelligence, warmth and a sense of delight to everyday life. Founded by Natalie and Paul Sun in 2011, Gingko was shaped by a shared appreciation for art, design and objects that make daily routines feel more considered. That approach comes through beautifully in the Cube Click Clock — a compact design that turns a simple function into something unexpectedly charming.
The brand’s philosophy is grounded in simplicity and usefulness, but never at the expense of character. Gingko pieces are designed to sit comfortably in the home, offering practical features in forms that feel calm, modern and easy to live with. There is an understated confidence to the way the brand works: nothing feels overworked, yet every detail feels intentional.
The Cube Click Clock
The Cube Click Clock captures that balance especially well. Its hidden LED display appears with a gentle touch, click or clap, creating a playful moment of interaction within a pared-back form. Time, date and temperature are displayed clearly, while the alarm and snooze function make it as functional as it is pleasing to use.
Thoughtful in scale as well as design, the Cube Click Clock works beautifully on bedside tables, desks and shelves. It can be powered by USB or batteries, giving it flexibility without
compromising its clean, compact presence. It is the kind of object that blends easily into contemporary interiors while still bringing a small moment of interest to the space around it.
Design Shaped Around the Family Table
At Gingko, design is shaped around the family table — through conversation, curiosity and care. That human, collaborative spirit gives the brand a warmth that feels naturally aligned with the way many people want to live today. Even the name reflects those values: the ginkgo tree is known for beauty, resilience and longevity, qualities that mirror the brand’s own approach to making.
