Does anybody know who George Nelson is?
Yes, you there in the back?
Ah yes, indeed, Nelson was a renowned architect, often mentioned as one of the founders of American Modernism.
Can anybody name me another founder?
No Jimmy, Micky Mouse doesn't count. Who does count is Charles Eames, an architect turned designer just as George Nelson.

And just as with Eames, you can feel the fun oozing out of Nelson product designs. Yes boys and girls, this clock embodies all what was good in the fifties, and is still a refreshing piece of design today.
That's it for today. Class dismissed.

What a beauty! I LOVE that clock! I just bought one for my home office and everyone that sees it has been complimenting me on it. Its artistic AND practical. I got it from officedesigns.com and it was a fabulous buying experience. Best price, best service. I'd totally recomend it.
