Vitra Nelson Ball Clock Cherry
Designer: George Nelson
Manufacturer: Vitra
George Nelson Ball Clock in beautiful cherry wood. Originally designed by George Nelson in the 1950s, the Ball Clock is still produced today by Vitra in Europe. This iconic mid-century wall clock is instantly recognizable for its wire rods and spherical cherry wood balls — a timeless design that embodies the optimistic, atomic-age spirit of the late 1940s. The popular story behind its creation is that George Nelson, Irving Harper, Buckminster Fuller, and Isamu Noguchi conceived the Ball Clock during a late-night brainstorming session in 1947. Inspired by the space-age era, the Ball Clock Cherry is perfect for retro-styled modern home decor. Battery-powered with a quartz-driven mechanism, this decorative clock is a sculptural statement for any living room, home office, family area, kitchen, or workspace. It features a brass finish base and silver metal rods, adding a refined touch to its playful form. The George Nelson clock collection by Vitra is crafted in Europe. Vitra’s extensive collection of contemporary furnishings includes iconic chairs, stools, storage pieces, rugs, lighting, clocks, dining accessories, sofas, and tables. Vitra also produces the famous Vitra Miniatures collection — scale models of modern classics. George Nelson is one of the founding fathers of American mid-century modernism, with works in renowned museums such as MoMA New York. His timeless wall clocks remain beloved collector’s pieces that never go out of style. Stardust is proud to offer the full Vitra George Nelson clock collection — decorative wall clocks, large wall clocks, mid-century modern classics, and table clocks for the modern home or office.
