Cell phones, Palm Pilots, and computers have managed to do away with the classic calendar.Who has a paper calendar hanging in the wall of their office these days?Nobody does, because they’re no longer necessary.But we must admit hanging a calendar on the wall with a thumbtack and flipping over the pages to discover each month’s photo had its charm and it’s a shame to have lost that. Those were the days!
Several designers have reinvented the concept of calendars. They’re not digital, but they’re not made out of paper. These calendars are practical, ingenious, customizable and designed to keep you entertained with every passing day.
This yellow adhesive-tape calendar is perfect for people who tend to forget they have a calendar hidden in some drawer.Why? Because it won’t go out of date, you can use it any month or year. The calendar is made up of two rolls of tape: one with the dates (for any month of any year) and another, narrower tape with the days of the week.You can stick them on your bedroom door, on the wall in your office, or on the fridge.Jot down appointments with a black marker and replace the tape once the month is over. It’s simple and practical.
Another calendar you can stick on the fridge is this magnetic calendar. Each date and month is printed on a separate magnet and the set contains additional magnets that can be used to mark special dates.For instance, an airplane reminds you you’re taking a flight, a wineglass let’s you keep track of your drink dates, and a skull and crossbones reminds you of important meetings.And, of course, you can also use these to put the grocery list up.
Another great idea is this calendar made out of matches.It’s a spiral-bound book made out of matches and each match corresponds to a day of the month.You can also use it to light the gas stove in your kitchen or to take a mid-morning cigarette break at the office, as well as using it to keep track of what day it is.This calendar was actually created by a Ukrainian energy company as a gift for its employees.
And lastly, our favorite, the calendar with bubbles you can pop.If your addicted to this pastime, we recommend you forget the calendar and buy a few meters of bubble wrap, because on this calendar, you have to honor the dates.It’s an enormous sheet of bubbles just waiting to be popped.Each little air blister corresponds to a day of the year.Can you go anywhere near it without popping them all at once?
