Retro nature wall clock from Next

Nature wallclock
This new retro nature wall clock from Next does pretty much what it claims to in its name: marrying a retro look with a floral motif. 

The design definitely looks to the starburst designs of the 1950s. However, the spokes of the stars have been replaced by the curved petals of a flower, pushing the feel of the clock into the sixties. Made from wood, the material enhances the retro feel of the design which could work in many different interiors. 

The clock costs £30.

That price? The chair costs £399.
