Ball Clock is designed by George Nelson for Vitra in various types of wood and metal, with high-quality quartz clock movement and 1.5 volt battery included.
The Wall Clocks are available in a diverse range of shapes and materials. Equipped with high-quality quartz movements, they offer a refreshing alternative to conventional clocks.
Belief in progress and growing economic prosperity were central aspects of the American way of life around 1950. Everything seemed possible, and people strove to be ‚modern‘. With the aim of bringing modern design into American homes, George Nelson conceived a wide array of everyday objects: lamps, clocks and other domestic accessories. Up until the 1970's, the Nelson office created many different items for the home, including the ‚Bubble Lamps‘ and the ‚Ball Clock‘, which became icons of mid-century modern design.
To celebrate 75 years since its creation and 25 years since the re-release of the famous Ball Clock Vitra has created four limited-edition colors - Dawn, Sunrise, Sunset and Dusk - interpretation of the moods of different times of the day with color gradations that create atmosphere.
