Tullio Bolletta, the founder of timepiece manufacturer Lorenz, approached German designer Richard Sapper in 1959 to collaborate on a challenging project.

Known as the Lorenz Static, Sapper’s design was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1960. In 2017, Lorenz started producing Static table clocks once again.
