When it comes to mid-century design, few pieces are as instantly recognizable—or as playful—as the Ball Clock. Originally dreamed up in 1949 by George Nelson and his team, it wasn’t just about telling time. It was about making a statement.

Fast-forward to today, and this iconic design still feels fresh. We’ve worked with expert manufacturers to bring it back in all its glory: vibrant wooden spheres, sleek metal spokes, and a perfect balance of function and flair. It’s not just a clock—it’s the ultimate throwback that looks right at home in the modern world.

Solid Wood Spheres
Every hour is marked by a smooth, hand-finished wooden ball. The rich texture and vibrant hues give the clock its playful personality while keeping it timeless and durable.

Powder-Coated Metal Rods
The slim, powder-coated rods extend gracefully from the center, offering a sleek contrast to the warmth of the wooden spheres. Functional, sturdy, and effortlessly modern.

Quartz Movement Mechanism
This isn’t just about looks—it’s powered by a dependable quartz movement for precise timekeeping. Battery-operated, so you’ll always be on time (or at least your clock will).

Iconic Mid-Century Form
The Ball Clock’s unmistakable radial design features wooden spheres and sleek metal rods. Its playful yet practical form captures the timeless ethos of mid-century modern design, making it a standout piece in any space.

Color Options for Every Style
Choose from three striking finishes: a neutral maple tone for understated elegance, a deep mahogany for warmth and sophistication, or a vibrant multicolor option that adds dynamic pops of personality to any room.

Visual Balance
With its perfect proportions and thoughtful symmetry, the Ball Clock seamlessly blends playful design with versatility, complementing both modern and traditional interiors.

This is a proud replica

This piece is not manufactured by the brand that currently owns the rights to the designer’s work. We do not claim any rights on any third party trademarks. Instead this is a proud replica of the designer’s work, inspired by the original form and made with premium materials. The best designers of the last century wanted their iconic designs to be accessible to all. But big furniture brands moved in, and artificially drove up prices.

We’re changing that. We’re recreating the best furniture pieces of the 20th century and selling them at fair prices. We’re making great design accessible to all.
