Vitra Popsicle Clock By George Nelson

Designed by George Nelson for Vitra in 1957 as part of his iconic range of clocks, the Popsicle wall clock features a total of 60 solid walnut prongs protruding from the bronze-finished quartz centre mechanism providing the clock with a semi-transparent aesthetic.

Belief in progress and growing economic prosperity were central aspects of the American way of life around 1950. Everything seemed possible, and people strove to be 'modern'. With the aim of bringing modern design into American homes, George Nelson conceived a wide array of everyday objects: lamps, clocks and other domestic accessories. Up until the 1970s, the Nelson office created many different items for the home, including the Bubble Lamps and the Ball Clock, which became icons of mid-century modern design.

The Wall Clocks are available in a diverse range of shapes and materials. Equipped with high-quality quartz movements, they offer a refreshing alternative to conventional clocks – including a wide selection of different designs to suit almost every taste and fancy.
