THE STORY BEHIND THE GEORGE NELSON BALL CLOCK
George Nelson was an architect by training, but everything he was involved with was motivated by the desire to improve everyday life. He believed that great design should be seen in all of the objects that surround us. This is most apparent in his designs for the simple clock. Clock design has remained essentially unchanged since its first development, but Nelson imagined a different way of crafting a timepiece. The Ball Clock encapsulates his drive to create a functional modernist work of art and he returned again and again to designing clocks.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
George Nelson
1908-1986 (United States)
American industrial designer, George Nelson was one of the founders of American modernism. He was renowned for finding inspiration in the unlikeliest places. Instead of looking for a shape that resembled a human body, Nelson introduced the idea that anything could be turned into a unique furniture design. His most famous pieces are based on coconuts and marshmallows.
