Description
Characterised by their diversity of materials and their sculptural shapes, the clocks created by George Nelson for Vitra epitomise the spirit of 1950s design. These wall clocks represent a fresh alternative to the usual time-keeping objects. These pieces are part of the collection of the Vitra Design Museum, and have become design classics, indispensable for the home. Nelson clocks are equipped with a high-quality quartz mechanism (1.5 V battery included) and are made of different types of wood and metal depending on the model. The Sunburst model takes the form of a sundial, the Ball Clock uses natural wooden balls to represent the hours and minutes, while the birch Sunflower clock takes the geometric shape of a flower, like an unfolded paper origami pattern. Each of the clocks in this series is sure to look right at home on your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom wall. These original clocks are ideal gifts for loved ones, or yourself!

George NELSON
Born in Connecticut in 1908, George Nelson studied architecture at Yale University before obtaining a scholarship to study at the American Academy in Rome. From 1935 to 1944, he was a member of the editorial board of the Architectural Forum. He was then spotted by the head of the Herman Miller furniture company, where he was subsequently appointed Director of Design until 1972. George Nelson set up his own agency in 1947 and designed numerous products that are considered icons of modernism. At the same time, he began working with Vitra in 1957. His iconic creations, which include a wide range of furniture, lighting and clocks, include the Coconut Chair, the Marshmallow Sofa and the Bubble hanging lamps. Particular attention is paid to the choice of materials and lightness. On his death in 1986 in New York, the archives of George Nelson, considered to be the founder of American modernism, were donated to the Vitra Design Museum.
