Sunburst Wall Clock

The sunburst-style wall clock came in a variety of shapes and sizes during its heyday of the mid-1940s to the mid ’60s. Its aesthetic captured many of the design elements common to the mid-century modern style – curves, colors, acute angles and mixed materials – all elegantly arranged to deliver both beautiful design and function. Designers such as George Nelson with his work for the Howard Miller Clock Company (the iconic polygon
clock), as well as his imitators, followed a simple set of three structural elements. You can revisit this “”timeless”” clock by following the plans and building a stylish project for your home.
