Orologio a sfere

Made by Vitra

Designed by George Nelson

L'orologio Ball Clock di George Nelson per Vitra è un design emblematico di metà secolo che trasforma l'orologio da parete in un'opera d'arte cinetica. Dodici sfere di legno dipinte fluttuano alle estremità di raggi metallici, sostituendo i numeri tradizionali in una giocosa reinterpretazione della misurazione del tempo. Sia in una vivace versione multicolore che in tonalità monocrome, l'orologio bilancia la stravaganza con un preciso movimento al quarzo. Questo pezzo vivace porta gioia e un tocco scultoreo a qualsiasi interno.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Ball Clock and when?

The Ball Clock was designed by George Nelson and his studio in 1948 for Howard Miller. Vitra now holds the license and produces the clock in faithful accordance with the original design.

What materials are used in the Vitra Ball Clock?

The clock features painted wooden spheres mounted on metal spokes, with a quartz movement mechanism. The combination of wood and metal gives the piece its characteristic lightness and graphic clarity.

Is the Ball Clock suitable for a professional or contract interior?

Yes. Its strong silhouette and cultural recognition make it a considered choice for hospitality, office, and residential environments alike. Architects and designers frequently use it as a focal point on larger wall surfaces.

How does the Ball Clock relate to George Nelson's broader design philosophy?

Nelson believed that objects in daily life should carry the same conceptual ambition as fine art or architecture. The Ball Clock exemplifies this, functioning as a wall-mounted sculptural composition that also happens to tell time.

What colorways are available for the Vitra Ball Clock?

Vitra offers the Ball Clock in a multicolor version, where each sphere is painted a distinct hue, and in monochrome editions. The choice between them shifts the clock's presence from exuberant to more restrained without altering its form.
