Discover a rare piece of design history with this Alessi 02/R Optic alarm clock, an iconic reissue of Joe Colombo’s visionary 1970s design. First produced by Ritz Italora, this striking model was brought back to life by Alessi in 1988 in bold red, black, and white ABS plastic. The version offered here belongs to that early re-edition, recognizable by key vintage details: the original “Quartz” marking on the dial, and the earlier battery housing design, later modified in the 2000s re-release.
With its sculptural form, rounded lines, and futuristic appeal, this Italian design clock is more than just a timekeeper — its a timeless object of function and form. Measuring 8x8x8 cm, it’s compact yet full of character. These early Alessi editions are increasingly hard to find, making this a must-have for collectors and fans of iconic 20th-century design.
A perfect piece to enrich any design-forward interior, from minimal to postmodern.
