1950s America saw a time of growing economic prosperity. An air of optimism and a fascination with modernism saw modern design brought into American homes. George Nelson crafted an array of everyday objects that would signify this lust for modern design, among these was the Cone Desk Clock. Made in 1954, the Cone provided an unusual diversion from traditional clock design. Its cone shape strayed away from traditional silhouettes, while its black and white design echoed minimal design principles. Perfect as a mantel clock, or for the desk at home or the office, the Cone’s iconic design looks stylish in any setting, and offers a reliable high-grade quartz clockwork.
