CHRONOPAK - Table-top walnut clock _ Vitra - 2d files - 3d files
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Chronopak is a sleek, solid walnut table clock from George Nelson's iconic Desk Clocks collection, originally designed in 1947. Inspired by Nelson's observation that people read time by the position of the clock hands rather than numbers, this collection redefined clocks as decorative interior elements rather than mere timekeeping tools. Launched in 1949, the collection featured 14 unique designs, all devoid of numbers but rich in diverse shapes, colors, and materials. Over the next 35 years, Nelson Associates created over 100 clock models, including wall clocks, portable table clocks, and built-in clocks. After Nelson's passing in 1986, the Vitra Design Museum acquired his extensive archive, and in 1999, Vitra began reissuing these timeless designs, periodically updating the collection. The Chronopak, crafted from solid walnut, brass, acrylic glass, and polyurethane, is powered by a high-quality quartz movement and includes a 1.5-volt battery. The walnut used is sourced from Western Europe and/or Poland. A 3D file of the product is available for download, offering a detailed digital representation. Vitra, the Swiss family-owned company behind this reissue, is renowned for its innovative furniture, lighting, and accessories, collaborating with legendary designers like George Nelson to create functional, aesthetically pleasing pieces for homes, offices, and public spaces.
