It's designed to command attention in any space, functioning seamlessly like furniture in modern offices and homes, adding a touch of sophistication to your surroundings.
This calendar was originally crafted as a thank-you gift for Studio EYC's clients who are predominantly designers, architects, and space creators. Its commercial success on Instagram highlights its allure for post-modernist enthusiasts, embodying 'enlightened self-interest' and seamlessly blending aesthetics with function, offering joy, organisation, and sophistication—elevating both the designer and the user's experience.

Challenge
The biggest challenge in creating this unique calendar was binding. To achieve the desired 'experience & design language,' the coil binding choice I made wasn't compatible with typical bind machines due to the calendar's size. Hand-finishing was a meticulous process, ensuring the calendar's original design language was preserved, making it unique and valuable in the market.
Beyond a mere timekeeping tool, this calendar serves as a sanctuary from the relentless digital chaos. Within its tactile pages lies more than a planning device; it's a contemplative refuge, a silent escape from the digital tumult, fostering an environment for creativity to flourish. It urges Studio EYC to take pride in guiding humanity toward the discreet luxury of purposeful design—a revival of tactile pleasures where paper goods become a newfound treasure, and time is gracefully reclaimed.Services
