Playtime Clock

2024

Remember to play! Our inner child holds important qualities like imagination, appreciation, contentment, and much more.

The Playtime Clock reimagines the classic grandfather clock with a pendulum. The blocks are crafted from welded metal sheets, with cutouts made by hand – of course, it would be easier to simply laser-cut the holes, but that would miss the playfulness of experimenting and finding the right compositions in real life (rather than in 3D programs). Behind the cutouts are crushed toys, flattened with the immense force of a 6,000,000 kg hydraulic press. Everything is bolted together, from tiny bolts and nuts to assemble the sheets behind the cutouts, to large bolts securing the blocks as a whole.
