Double Take: Sunflower and Lotus Clocks

On the left: George Nelson's 1958 Sunflower Clock manufactured by Vitra, $1,015 at HiveModern. On the right: The Lotus Clock made by Dutch design company Karlsson, 85 pounds sterling (about $170) at Contemporary Heaven.

Same design, same size (29.5 inches), different materials (plywood vs. plastic).

It's always time for a good rip-off, I guess. Still, I'd be hard-pressed to shell out more than a thousand bucks for the official, licensed version -- as amazing as it is. What about you?
