Jasper Morrison Table Clock, recycled
Last updated: 11 October 2026
The Jasper Morrison Table Clock is a plain round face on a short cylindrical foot, designed in 2008 and made by HAY. This is the recycled-plastic version, £95 at SCP in four colours: red, pink, grey and brown. There is also a cheaper non-recycled table clock at £66.50 and a wall clock at £119, and the family shares one face, so the choice is about where it goes rather than how it looks. It is a clock with no alarm, no radio and no app. Every price here was checked at SCP on 6 September 2026.
What it is, and who made it
Jasper Morrison drew the clock in 2008. HAY, the Danish company, manufactures it, and SCP in Shoreditch is one of the UK shops that stocks it. Listings muddle those three, so keep them apart: Morrison is the designer, HAY is the maker, SCP is where you buy it.
The recycled version is the same design in recycled plastic. SCP describe it as carrying "the same minimalist, timeless design as the Wall Clock, with clean lines and clear numerals", which is accurate and slightly undersells the thing. The numerals are the design. Only 12, 4 and 8 are printed, with the rest of the hours marked by ticks, and that decision is what stops the face looking like an office clock.
The Morrison argument, in an object
Morrison has spent a career on what he and Naoto Fukasawa called Super Normal: objects so ordinary they disappear into use, made properly enough to last. A clock is the perfect test of it, because a clock is a thing nobody should have to think about and most designers cannot resist.
What he does here is subtract. There is no second hand on the printed dial to fuss the face, no branding on the front, no bezel, and the foot is a plain cylinder rather than a stand. The yellow hand is the only decision that draws attention to itself, and it is there because you need to find the minute hand at a glance from across a room.
The whole family, and what each one costs
SCP sell four versions and two of them cost the same, which trips people up.
| Version | Where it goes | Price at SCP |
|---|---|---|
| Table Clock | Desk, shelf, bedside | £66.50 |
| Table Clock, recycled | Desk, shelf, bedside | £95.00 |
| Wall Clock | Wall | £119.00 |
| Wall Clock, recycled | Wall | £119.00 |
Both wall clocks are £119, so on the wall the recycled version costs nothing extra and there is no reason to buy the other one. On a table the recycled version costs £28.50 more. That is the number to weigh.
Four colours, and which one to pick
The recycled table clock comes in red, pink, grey and brown, all at £95 and all in stock when we checked. Grey is the one that disappears, which is the Morrison position. Red is the one that does not, and on a shelf of books it works as the only bright object in the row.
The colour is in the plastic rather than painted on, so a scuff does not show a different colour underneath. That matters more on a desk object than on a wall one.
What recycled actually means here
HAY make this version from recycled plastic, and that is the whole claim. SCP do not publish a percentage of recycled content, and neither figure appears on the product page, so there is no number to quote and we are not going to invent one.
What can be said plainly: a clock that lasts twenty years is the larger environmental argument, and this is a quartz movement in a moulded case with no battery pack, no screen and no firmware. It will outlive two or three smart alarm clocks. If a lower-impact desk object is the brief, our page on Gomi's chargers covers a maker that publishes its material sourcing in more detail.
Living with it
It is a quartz clock, so it ticks. On a desk that is background noise. At a bedside some people find it maddening, which is the commonest complaint about any analogue clock and nothing to do with this one. Sleep in a quiet room and try it before committing it to the bedside.
There is no alarm and no light. If the job is waking somebody up, this is the wrong object and our page on the Loftie alarm clock covers a right one. If the job is knowing the time without picking up a phone, this is close to ideal.
Jasper Morrison Table Clock FAQs
Who makes the Jasper Morrison Table Clock?
HAY, the Danish design company. Jasper Morrison designed it in 2008. SCP is a UK stockist, not the manufacturer.
How much is the recycled Table Clock?
£95 at SCP, in red, pink, grey or brown. The non-recycled table clock is £66.50 and both wall clock versions are £119.
Is the recycled version worth the extra?
On the wall it is not a question, because both wall clocks cost £119. On a table the recycled one is £28.50 more than the standard one for the same design, so it depends on how much the recycled plastic is worth to you.
Does it have an alarm?
No. It is a clock. There is no alarm, no light, no radio and nothing to connect it to.
What colours does it come in?
The recycled table clock comes in red, pink, grey and brown. The colour is through the plastic rather than a surface finish.
Can the table clock be hung on a wall?
SCP describe the design as versatile enough for a table, a window sill or a wall. The wall clock is the version made for the job, and it is a different size and price.
What powers it?
A quartz movement running on a battery. It ticks audibly, which is the thing to consider before putting one on a bedside table.
