Clock, Model 6366 Date: c. 1933 Artist: Gilbert Rohde American, 18941944 Made by the Herman Miller Clock Company American, active 19261937 Zeeland. ABOUT THIS ARTWORK Although he lacked formal artistic training, Gilbert Rohde pioneered the field of 20th-century design by creating clean, modern furniture that, like many domestic objects during the first half of the century, skillfully married the machine age with convention. In 1933 he designed a series of clocks for the company, debuting these in his experimental Design for Living interior at the Century of Progress International Exposition in Chicago. For this example, Rohde employed opulent Macassar ebony for the body and accented it with chrome-plated steel. The gleaming metal bands give the clock a streamlined, modern appearanceas do the stylized numbers on the facewhile the dark, polished wood provides the impression of solidity and tradition.
