Forming part of Vitra’s extensive range of Nelson clocks, the Ceramic Clock is immediately evocative of the classic design of the mid-century period. The Model 2 version comes in a striking yellow glazed porcelain finish, with a tapered yellow stem reaching up into a star-shaped white clock face, with the finished piece a characterful and elegantly sculptural celebration of one of the most beloved designers of the 21st Century.
George Nelson read architecture at the renowned Yale University and completed his studies at the American academy in Rome. He was editor in chief of the 'Architectural Forum' from 1935 to 1944.
After having set up his own Architecture and Industrial design company in 1946, he began collaborating with Vitra in 1957. His pieces, such as the Coconut chair, his clocks and the Marshmallow Sofa, are regarded highly amongst the 20th Century design classics.
