GIGA KLETKA human-sized clock

A 160cm wall clock designed and built entirely from scratch — from foam body to custom 3D-printed mechanism. Originally created as a personal experiment, it was later commissioned as a graduation gift for a university.

This one-of-a-kind piece blends design, sculpture, and engineering into a bold centerpiece that doesn’t just tell time. It owns space.

This project started with a wild thought in the shower: What if I made a clock… bigger than me? I had no client, no deadline, and no clear plan. Just an idea — and a lot of curiosity. Read more about the making process in my Journal here.

Use Case & Concept

Giga Kletka was designed as a symbolic gift, but can also serve as an impressive sculptural element in galleries, campuses, modern interiors, or creative studios. Due to its scale and weight, professional mounting is recommended.
