Price History
Description
The City Hall wall clock – designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1956 for Rødovre City Hall - is typical of its era, stringent and unsentimental design, almost institutional. Silent and beautiful in any home! It was Arne Jacobsen’s custom to design the totality – everything from the building to its fixtures and fittings, furniture etcetera – including this wall clock! Choose between different sizes.
Our Stylist Says
I love this clock for its minimalist yet striking design, making it a flexible piece for various interiors. Its clean lines and monochrome palette mean it works particularly well in Scandinavian, modern, or industrial spaces where understated elegance is key. The large size and clear, easy-to-read dial make it both practical and a subtle focal point. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral wall colours or contrasting with bold accents for visual impact, and placing it in kitchens, offices, or living rooms where both form and function are appreciated. The simplicity of this piece means it can elevate a space without overwhelming, adding a sophisticated touch that seamlessly integrates into both contemporary and pared-back interiors.
