Description
Characterised by the diversity of materials and their sculptural forms, the clocks created by George Nelson for Vitra embody the spirit of design of the 1950s. These wall clocks represent a fresh alternative to the usual objects for measuring time. These pieces are part of the collection of the Vitra Design Museum, and have become design classics, indispensable for the home. Made of different woods and metals, depending on the model, Nelson clocks are equipped with a high-quality quartz mechanism (1.5 V battery included). The Sunburst model takes the form of a sundial, the Ball Clock uses natural wooden balls to represent the hours and minutes, and the Sunflower clock in birch takes the geometric shape of a flower, like an unfolded paper origami pattern. Regardless of the model, each of these clocks fits perfectly on the wall of a kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. These clocks are an original gift idea for others or for oneself.

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.
