Product Details

Built to the exact specifications of the original design, the TITAHOT version of George Nelson's classic Kite Wall Clock evokes all of the class and luxury of the seminal 1960 piece. Consisting of a smooth metal face in a 'kite' shape, split into contrasting black and white sections, it is the picture of American modernist panache, with its crisp lines and studded 'hour' markers. The red hands also make telling the time totally effortless, meaning you can hang it on almost any wall in total comfort. This is a real mid-century classic.

The story behind the George Nelson Kite Clock

Almost as soon as it was released in 1960, the Kite Clock became one of Nelson's most popular pieces; its simple colours and clean lines allowing it to blend effortlessly into almost any home decor, making it perfect for the American mass-market. And if there was a design accessory to epitomise the phrase "class is permanent", then this is it, as it continues to be an enduring favourite to this day. Originally inspired by the shape of that favourite child's toy, it brings a grace and a panache to a familiar shape; an innovation that continues to delight this day.
