This Alessi Bird Clock, designed by Michael Graves, is a defining piece of 1990s postmodern design. The wall clock features a distinctive blue frame and a white dial, accented by the iconic bird-shaped hands that have become synonymous with Graves's work for the Italian manufacturer.
Constructed from durable plastic, the clock showcases a matte blue finish that contrasts cleanly with the white face and the subtle red and blue tones of the bird hands. The piece operates with a standard quartz movement, accessible via the removable back panel. The design reflects the playful yet architectural approach that characterised the postmodern movement of the era.
The clock remains in good, functional condition, retaining its original character and finish. The quartz movement is intact and the piece is ready for immediate use.
This clock serves as a functional art object that brings a touch of design history to a kitchen, office, or living space. It pairs well with both contemporary interiors and dedicated collections of postmodern or Italian design.
