Made by Vitra

Designed by George Nelson

Il Night Clock, disegnato da George Nelson, è una testimonianza dell'ottimismo moderno di metà secolo e del fascino minimalista. La sua elegante cassa in ottone e il quadrante in acrilico trasparente evocano un'eleganza senza tempo, incarnando al contempo la sofisticatezza giocosa del linguaggio di design di Nelson. L'assenza di numeri permette alle lancette di diventare gesti espressivi, invitando a una lettura più intuitiva e poetica del tempo. Compatto ma accattivante, questo orologio porta personalità e precisione al comodino o alla scrivania.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Night Clock and when?

The Night Clock was designed by George Nelson, the influential American designer who served as design director at Herman Miller from 1946 to 1972. His clock series, created during the 1940s and 1950s, became defining objects of mid-century modern design.

Why does the Night Clock have no numerals?

Nelson's omission of numerals was a deliberate design choice, shifting the reading of time from a cognitive act to an intuitive, gestural one. The hands alone carry the information, allowing the clock face to read as a composed, uncluttered form.

What materials is the Night Clock made from?

The Night Clock features a polished brass case and a clear acrylic face. These materials reflect Nelson's interest in combining industrial precision with warmth, a combination that has kept the design visually relevant for decades.

How does Vitra relate to George Nelson's clock designs?

Vitra acquired the rights to produce George Nelson's clock collection through its relationship with the Herman Miller archive. The clocks are manufactured under license from the George Nelson estate, maintaining fidelity to the original design specifications.

Where is the Night Clock best placed in an interior?

Its compact scale and quiet visual presence make it well suited to a nightstand, desk, or shelf where a considered object is preferred over a decorative statement. Its brass case complements both warm and neutral palettes.
