Vitra Night Desk Clock Black
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: George Nelson, 1947/53
A Desk Clock from the Nelson Family
The Night Desk Clock is part of the Nelson clock family that began in 1947, when George Nelson was commissioned to create a collection of timepieces for Herman Miller. His starting point was the observation that people read the time by the position of the hands, not by numerals — which made numbers on a clock face redundant. The result was a series of designs that treated the clock as a sculptural object first and a timepiece second.
The Night Black shares the same compact cylindrical brass form as the plain version, finished in black for a more graphic, contemporary look. Vitra has reissued the Nelson Clocks since 1999 as part of the Vitra Design Museum Collection, produced true to the original.
