I’ll be your seven-day fool
I haven’t had a physical calendar for a while. Since I’m disorganized enough that I require an electronic calendar with an alarm by my side at all times to keep it together, having another big one that has to stay at home on the wall always seems a little pointless. It’s just another reminder that I have a semi-functional brain when I look over and realize that I haven’t turned the calendar page since February or I’m still looking at the Sudoku-a-day from, like, four and a half months ago.
But here are a few options that, while they may not be entirely useful for penciling in friends’ birthdays, are beautiful, super-functional, or both.
This ink calendar is by Oscar Diaz, a Spanish designer. He says:
“Ink Calendar” make use the timed pace of the ink spreading on the paper to indicate time.
The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are “printed” daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. A calendar self-updated, which enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it.
Unsure how accurately the capillary action can be predicted, but still, what a beautiful thing to have on your wall. The inks are different colors related to each season. Unfortunately, the ink calendar is not in production at the moment. Someone make this, please!
