Style & Design # 6 : Dupont - Corian Calendar





You have no memory , you don't remember dates and months ! no worries ! Danish designer Niels Kjeldsen has created a desktop calendar for forgetful people .


It's colourful , minimalist , timeless and sexy .


" The design is a calendar made for the table . The user is in daily contact with the Corian material and can by using the calendar experience Corian's luxurious surface , weight and high quality . And all the new Corian colours is represented by the month pieces . The calendar component is 12 month pieces in different colours , 2 dates cubes in white and a solid base in black . The base is adjusted by turning the cubes around and the month is changed by placing the relevant month in front of the date cubes . Because there is no days in the calendar , it can be used forever.... The name rainbow is reflecting the shape of the base and all the colours moving along the bow . The size is : 312 x 85 x 120 mm .
