George Nelson - design legend
George Nelson was born in the USA in 1908. He studied architecture at Yale University. From 1932-34, he was able to continue his studies at the American Academy in Rome thanks to a scholarship, which brought him into contact with modernist buildings and designers in Europe.
In the 1940s, Nelson became the design director of Herman Miller. This position made him a kind of key figure in American design. He not only designed furniture for the home and office but also brought well-known names like Charles & Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard to the manufacturer. in 1957, Vitra founder Willi Fehlbaum signed the first licence agreement with Herman Miller for furniture production in Europe and a close friendship developed between him and George Nelson.
This connection resulted in numerous designs, which today are counted among the absolute classics of modern design history.
Material and format
Depending on the version, the clock is made of birch or black ash wood and brass. It has a diameter of 75 cm.
