Playful and characterful, the Vitra Zoo Timers range is the ideal tool for inspiring young minds and will inject a sense of creativity and imagination into any space. Beautifully crafted from expertly worked plywood, the Elihu The Elephant Wall Clock features a reproduction of a face initially hand-drawn by Nelson himself and is rich with sculptural beauty.
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.
