In stock
Sale price$79.99

Classic charm, quietly modernised for the bedside.

The Karlsson Lofty Alarm Clock with Light is a charming little timepiece for a bedside, desk or mantel. A matte iron case sits on slim golden legs, with gold hands offering a subtle nod to vintage design, while the modern details do the everyday work. It is part of the much-loved Lofty family, which also includes the Lofty Wall Clock if you would like to carry the look across the room. Browse the full Karlsson range for more.

A light button lets you check the time in the dark, the sweep movement means no ticking, and the alarm takes care of the morning.

Designed by Armando Breeveld.

How does the light work?
A button lights the face so you can check the time at night without turning on a lamp.

Styling Tips

  • Add it to a guest room for a thoughtful, hotel-like detail
  • Mix two or three Lofty clocks in different colours for a tonal grouping

The bedside scenes here are styled entirely with pieces from the shop.

The Takeaway

A bestseller for good reason: the Lofty gets the details right, from its quiet sweep movement to its gold-legged good looks. A small object that makes the start and end of each day feel a little more considered.
