Today, his mantel clocks remain a refreshing alternative to conventional timepieces. El Vitra Design Museum vuelve a poner a la venta una reedici\u00f3n de estos codiciados dise\u00f1os de coleccionismo, fieles al original.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
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. <\/p>\n
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 \u2013 the absence of numbers \u2013 the diversity of shapes, colors, materials and designs could not have been greater. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":38285,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[1681],"product_cat":[860,864,863],"product_tag":[1153],"class_list":["post-38284","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-vitra","product_cat-accesories-decoration-malaga-marbella","product_cat-decorative-clocks","product_cat-objects","product_tag-george-nelson","pa_diseno-george-nelson","first","instock","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
