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 at the Vitra Design Museum and have become design classics; essential additions to your 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, while the birch Sunflower clock takes the geometric shape of a flower, like an unfolded paper origami pattern. Whichever model you choose, the clock will fit perfectly on your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom wall. These clocks are an original gift idea to offer or to treat yourself to.

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.

VITRA

Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is based near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the design brand Vitra grew and opened many subsidiaries worldwide. The founders had spotted Eames Lounge Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames during a trip to New York, USA. They were immediately captivated and therefore requested a license to produce these pieces of furniture in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the keys to the brand's success.
