Vitra Sunburst Clock is a true Design Classic, very recognisable and timeless in it's design. To this day, his wall clocks remain a refreshing alternative to the usual timekeepers.
George Nelson, born 1908 in Hartford, Connecticut (USA), studied architecture at Yale University. A fellowship enabled him to study at the American Academy in Rome from 1932 to 1934. In Europe, he became acquainted with the major architectural works and leading protagonists of modernism. George Nelson transformed everyday objects into art, such as his iconic sunburst clock.
