“Ball Clock by Vitra. Vitra Nelson™ Ball ClockOne of the founding fathers of American Mid-century modernism, George Nelson created a remarkable collection of now iconic designs and unconventional interpretations of such everyday items as lamps and wall clocks for Herman Miller, including, most famously, the Nelson Ball clock, now manufactured under license by Vitra. A refreshing alternative to traditional timekeepers, the striking “”Atomic”” design of the Ball clock has come to typify the exuberant, optimistic and sunny spirit of 1950s America, and still looks fresh and exciting today.Made from metal, beech wood with acrylic lacquerHigh-quality quartz clockworkAvailable in Multi-colored, Red, White, Orange or NaturalIncludes 1.5 volt batteryThis stylish modern wall clock provides a unique finishing touch to the living room, home office, family area or kitchen. The inventive and imaginative Vitra Nelson Ball clock captured the spirit of emerging modernism in 1947, and remains today a stylish and fun alternative to conventional timepieces — as well as a revered Mid-century design classic. Embodying the energetic joie de vivre of post-war America, the Ball clock employed an innovative ball and stick design that reminded some people of scientific models used to illustrate atomic structure.
