CONTEMPORARY INSPIRATION
THE CLASSIC NELSON HOUR
The Blue Block Clock is a completely opposite approach to the thin vulnerable arms of the majority of wall timepieces. A 1947 classic, because of the popularity of the Ball, Turbine and Sunburst Clocks the Blue Block Clock did not really shine to stardom during that time. But now, Designer Editions wants to give it a share of the limelight as we introduce a premium style of the iconic clock in a more stunning and contemporary approach. The bold block style represents the strength and promise of the industrial age. Designed to fit any environment, this clock is one of George Nelson’s most bold and recognizable creation.
BOLD AND INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE DESIGN
A clock that features a stunning wooden blue rectangular blocks on stems. The combination of black and red hour and minute hand creates a sophisticated combination of symbolism and simplicity. The pieces are carefully crafted by hands on an ivory painted Aluminum Quartz Holder and the 12-pieces wooden blue blocks in consistent and accurate Quartz Movement mechanism. This Blue Block Clock designed by George Nelson for Designer Editions is the chic accessory that will give character to any space. Backed with a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty and battery operated for clean installation and no extraneous wires.

Inspired By
George Nelson
George Nelson, born 1908 in Hartford, Connecticut was an American industrial designer and one of the founders of American Modernism. He did not originally set out to become an architect but fate lead him to the path when one rainy day he happened upon the architecture school at Yale, when he ducked into a building and as he walks his way through the building, he immediately found where he belonged. Entering the profession in the depths of the Great Depression, Nelson competed for and was awarded a Rome Prize, which provided a two-year stipend to study at the American Academy in Rome. George Nelson shaped the course of design in America for over four decades. Many of his designs were known worldwide including the Coconut Chair, Marshmallow Sofa, and Ball Clock to name a few.CONTEMPORARY INSPIRATION
