In 1947, American designer George Nelson was commissioned to create a collection of clocks. After studying how people used clocks, Nelson concluded that time could be read by the relative position of the hands, making numbers unnecessary. Furthermore, since most people used wristwatches, he surmised that wall clocks had become purely decorative elements in interiors.
These ideas formed the basis of their first collection of 14 pieces, which included wall clocks and small table clocks with a completely new style and were introduced to the market in 1949. Although all models shared a common characteristic – the absence of numbers – the diversity of shapes, colors, materials and designs could not have been greater.
En una gran variedad de materiales y formas esculturales, los relojes de George Nelson representan el estado anímico de la sociedad de principios de los años cincuenta. Hoy en día, sus relojes de sobremesa siguen siendo una refrescante alternativa a los relojes convencionales. El Vitra Design Museum vuelve a poner a la venta una reedición de estos codiciados diseños de coleccionismo, fieles al original.
