Memphis Wall Clock by George Sowden & Nathalie du Pasquier for NEOS Lorenz

About the Item

Beautiful black and white wall clock by Memphis group founding members George Sowden and Nathalie du Pasquier. The postmodern design of the Memphis Group was very influential in the 1980’s. The colorful, daring and geometrical forms of their designs are among the finest examples of combining art and product design in the final stages of the 20th century. Designers George Sowden and Nathalie du Pasquier were founding members of the Memphis Group, which was initiated by designer Ettore Sottsass in 1981. The ‘Neos’ series of clocks consisted of several different kinds of clocks – from table and wall clocks to watches. The clock in our collection is a fine example of the more subtile and graphic side of the Memphis Group. By only using black and white Sowden and du Pasquier identified the essence of the strong and modern Memphis designs. The graphic centre of the clock combined with the simple and straightforward edge give the clock a very powerful appearance.

Vilhelm Lauritzen 'VL Studio' Wall Lamp in Brass for Louis Poulsen
By Vilhelm Lauritzen
Located in Tilburg, NL
Vilhelm Lauritzen 'VL Studio' wall lamp in brass for Louis Poulsen. Designed in the 1940s. New, current production. The VL Studio family derives from a lamp designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for Radiohuset (The Radio House, headquarters of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation) in Copenhagen in the 1940s. The name ‘Studio’ was chosen because some of the lamps were used outside studios to indicate – with either a red or green light – whether recording was taking place. Vilhelm Lauritzen was the architect behind Radiohuset, which was inaugurated in his functionalist design in 1945. Radiohuset is a ‘gesamtkunstwerk’ – like most of Lauritzen’s buildings – meaning that he designed all the interiors and every detail of the building for the project. When developing Radiohuset, Lauritzen designed a broad collection of lamps in close collaboration with Louis Poulsen. For this project, Lauritzen created the Studio lamp, the VL 38...
