George Nelson Hotdog Clock

Who would succeed at creating an artistic timepiece out of a hot dog? Not to mention going on to become one of the icons of mid century modern design for doing it. None other than George Nelson.

Modernist Icon Of Time

The hot dog hour markers in George Nelson hot dog clock feature the 1960 era correct retro colors that we now refer to as “retro”. Rich avocado, pop art red, black, light seafoam and deep teal are all represented in the piece. The hour and minute hands are also clever representations of a minimalist hot dog. George was known for pulling elements of everyday experiences into our conscious presence with design. Something that would have been seen and perhaps eaten without much attention, would now be an element of intent and intrigue in rooms all across the world. Art is in everything, it is simply the shift in awareness that allows us to realize and appreciate.

The 1960 Hot Dog clock succeeds at design intrigue and sophistication. George Nelson was opening perceptions with design. The Hot Dog Clock takes what may be considered a mundane part of existence and calls to awareness the beauty in its design by placing it in our living spaces as a functioning piece of art. Each hotdog hour marker is adorned with a color that represented the era in which this design was conceived. The hour and minute hands are minimalist open-air outlines of hotdogs themselves. No designer was able to evoke the retro aura of designer wall clocks like George. In fairness, he had a bit of practice. He created over 150 designs for the Howard Miller company during the mid century years. We all have a need to know the time, but it does not mean timekeeping has to be boring. Why not do it in mid century classic George Nelson style?
