George Nelson's "Ceramic Clock"

A Reproduction by Vitra Design Museum
During the Mid-Century period, George Nelson designed numerous interior accessories for daily use. Among them, the "Nelson Clock Series" is highly artistic, and many might immediately associate "Nelson" with clocks. However, some clock designs from that era unfortunately could not be commercialized. The "Ceramic Clock" is one such example.
The project was halted just before production at the time, and this clock, which ended as a prototype without ever being manufactured or sold, has been reproduced by the Vitra Design Museum based on original design drawings and precious prototypes from that era. The ceramic form evokes a sense of sculpture, reminiscent of artists like Constantin Brancusi and Isamu Noguchi. It's sure to bring a charming touch as an eye-catching piece in any interior space.
