Vitra Nelson Ball Wall Clock Multi Color by George Nelson. The Ball Clock was designed by George Nelson in the 1950s and is manufactured by Vitra in Europe. It’s hard to resist the iconic Ball Clock with its instantly recognizable wire rods and multicolored balls. This fabulous fifties-style wall clock was originally created in 1947 and reflects the optimistic spirit of the atomic age.
The popular story about its creation tells that George Nelson, Irving Harper, Buckminster Fuller, and Isamu Noguchi designed it together during a late-night brainstorm in 1947. Inspired by the space-age atomic era, the Nelson Ball Clock is perfect for any retro-styled modern decor. This mid-century modern wall clock is an icon of design. It runs on 1 AA battery and uses a quartz-driven mechanism.
The George Nelson clock collection by Vitra is highly decorative and fits any interior space — home or office. These sculptural wall clocks are a refreshing alternative to traditional timekeepers.
Vitra, renowned for its contemporary furnishings, produces the George Nelson clocks in Europe. The Vitra collection includes iconic designs across furniture, storage, lighting, clocks, dining accessories, and the celebrated Vitra Miniatures collection.
George Nelson is one of the founding fathers of American mid-century modernism. His work can be found in major museums worldwide, including the MoMA in New York. Nelson’s wall clocks remain stylish, collectible classics that never go out of style.
