A-Calendar

Fun little project: made a calendar that displays the daily hours of sunshine 30 years ago, projected onto the year 2008. Screenprint, 100×70cm.

Too cool for words
It’s actually extremely simple: you just need to commit to memory that .|..|…|~|,,,|,,|, > January to December. So if you want to find out what dayname was November 20, you go to 20, move up to the November row, find … and you know immediately that it was a Tuesday. And it has some BIG type as well.

Folding Calendar

Color Calendar

A pretty colorful calendar concept. Each month color is associated with a month — e.g. blue stands for January and red stands for July. The last page contains contact references to designer’s portfolio. That’s an effective brochure design.Designed by Jonathan Davies.

Color Calendar

Colour Calendar 2008 – and every day once again gets its own special color from Switzerland’s design genius, Moritz Zwimpfer. This appealing, spiral-bound desk calendar is a bit like a Pantone book with room for notes; each day’s color brings its own scent, taste and sound, the implications of memory, the possibilities of the future. A beautiful little object, impeccably printed, for the desk or attaché case of a design aficionado, promising enjoyment long after 2008 is history. The appendix includes a calendar overview for 2008-2009, Pantone codes for the 365 colors, and blank pages for memos. Designed by Moritz Zwimpfer.

Orange Diagonal with Outer Numbers

Post it Calendar

Calendar made from post-it paper, the layout and design still needs some work (as always, any of your suggestions and thoughts are more than welcome), but here is the rought concept. The principle how it works: for each day you have a post-it note, each one has a date and a to-do list, before you leave your house, you peel todays note from the wall/frige/whatever and put it in you wallet. Designed by Andrei Slobtsov..

this one is very weird, but I think it’s worth to buy to scared your friend they’ll think you’re a cannibal

The big event – Corian 40 years/40 designers was created to recognize the input designers have made and continue to make to Corian. DuPont asked 40 international designers to create a genuinely functional object – a table or desktop accessory – that reflects the ingenuity of the designers as well as the design possibilities of Corian. Niels Kjeldsen was one of 40 designers worldwide.
The date are ajusted by turning the cubes and the present month is placed in front of the base.

Inspired by Jaehyung Hong’s great idea of personalizing a paper cup. You create your own handle by simply cutting out along dotted lines. You’ll never forget your own design.

if you want to buy it just pray because this watch is still a concept, it uses crystal LED’s

This idea wants to help the cookers on kitchen. When you cut things on the cook board, the most difficult part is when you transfer the things to pan. This cook board will give you more direction to transfer it.Well I really need this kind of cook board because I always make a mess in my kitchen.

By Andrew Liszewski I don’t know if I’m quite ready to sacrifice my boxes of Commodore 64 floppies just yet (I wonder what their shelf life is anyways) but re-using them as CD sleeves seems about as useful a way to recycle them as any. Designer Adam Faja originally came up with the idea, and the sample you see pictured above included a track list printed on an index card in an old school typewriter font to complete the effect. Back to 90′s??
