The Vitra Cone table clock takes its name from its conical face, which makes it both sculptural and functional. Its simple yet insightful design makes the Cone Base a versatile interior design element that is suitable for the desk, living room or bedroom. The quartz movement ensures accurate and reliable operation, while its design brings Vitra's signature playfulness and timeless aesthetics to the space.
In 1947, American designer George Nelson was commissioned to create a collection of clocks. When he received the commission, Nelson carefully analyzed people's relationship with clocks and how they read them. He found that people were satisfied with the direction the hands were pointing, and that there was no real need for numbers on the dial. Nelson also noticed that people mostly wore wristwatches and that wall clocks had become more of a decorative element.
These ideas and thoughts served as the basis for Nelson's collection of 14 clocks, which included completely new types of wall and table clocks. Introduced to the market in 1949, the clocks were all different from each other, but they all had one thing in common: the lack of numbers.
