Vitra George Nelson Sunburst Wall Clock

A timeless icon of mid-century modern design, this authentic Vitra Sunburst Wall Clock, designed by George Nelson, is one of the most recognisable decorative clocks of the twentieth century.

Originally created in the 1950s as part of Nelson's celebrated clock collection, the playful arrangement of multicoloured wooden rays radiates from a natural timber centre, creating a sculptural piece that functions as both a practical timepiece and a work of wall art.

At 49cm in diameter, this is an exceptionally versatile size—large enough to make a statement while remaining perfectly proportioned for kitchens, living rooms, hallways, home offices, or positioned above a sideboard or console table. Powered by a modern quartz movement, it offers dependable everyday timekeeping while retaining the charm of Nelson's original design.

The clock remains in good overall vintage condition with light signs of age. Please note there is a scratch to the central circular section of the clock, which has been reflected in the price and is shown in the photographs.

Good Original Condition

Good overall vintage condition with minor age-related wear consistent with use. There is a noticeable scratch to the central circular section of the clock, visible in the photographs, but it remains an attractive and fully functional example of this celebrated George Nelson design.

The Sunburst Clock is one of the defining pieces of mid-century interior design and pairs beautifully with Scandinavian, Danish Modern and contemporary interiors. Its colourful rays bring warmth and character to neutral spaces, while the sculptural form creates a striking focal point above sideboards, fireplaces, desks or kitchen dressers.

The 49cm version is particularly versatile, offering impressive visual impact without dominating the room.
