Christmas TIME...


Published on 01.12.2009

...and the mistletoe and wine will almost certainly be in abundance - so why not give someone the gift of time this Christmas.

Puns, we love 'em

One of the true greats of clock design was former Herman Miller design director George Nelson and his classic 1950s clock designs are a gift that one can always give with confidence.

A new addition to the range is the three Ceramic Clocks; designed in the early 1950s but which never entered production. On the basis of drawings and other technical specifications found in the George Nelson Archive,  Vitra have re-created the designs and so made the clocks available for the first time.

In addition the Nelson canon via Vitra includes numerous design classics; our favourites include, ball clock, diamond clock, pill clock and sunflower clock.
