Playtime Clock

2024

Remember to play. We often forget our inner child, even though it holds important qualities like imagination, appreciation, contentment, and so much more.

The Playtime Clock is inspired by the traditional grandfather clock with a pendulum. The blocks are constructed from welded sheets, with cutouts made by hand using power tools. 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 by a large hydraulic press capable of applying up to 6,000,000 kg of pressure. 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.
