The Sunflower Clock is a timeless masterpiece created by George Nelson, a master of mid-century design, around the 1950s. This is an official reproduction by Vitra, a prestigious Swiss furniture brand, and its radial design that emits sunlight will transform your wall into a work of art. The petal-like shape, which is made up of multiple layers of shining brass-colored metal curves that spread outward from the center, not only keeps track of time, but also brings a sense of dynamism and sophisticated beauty to the space. As a reused item, you can make a sustainable choice while still gaining the value and beauty of a designer clock.

Details

George Nelson was an American architect and designer representing the 20th century, and as the design director of Herman Miller, he brought many masterpieces of furniture to the world. From the late 1940s to the 1950s, Nelson revolutionized watch design with the Nelson Clock series, which was both functional and sculptural. The Sunflower Clock is one of its most iconic designs. The beautiful curves of the metal spread out in a radial pattern, extending outward from the center like sunlight or flower petals, and a small sphere is placed at the tip. This geometric yet organic form embodies the essence of mid-century modern design. Vitra's reissues are faithful to the original design, yet precisely crafted using modern technology to ensure both beauty and durability.
