The Chrono-Shredder is a design that reminds us of the preciousness of our lifetime. It represents the passing of time by shredding the days of the year – printed on a paper roll – at a slow constant rate. To shred one day takes 24 hours. There is no “off”-button.

Calendar Design 04- Calendar Made of Matches
The idea was to create as unique a calendar so that the process of its presenting would become an outstanding event. Alongside with this, it was important to expose the idea of “energy”, as it is predetermined by the name and logo of the company. Each page is a month and it looks like a comb made of matches that correspond to the days. The matches are real and the construction of the calendar is absolutely safe.

Those tear away type calendars could be viewed by some as a waste of paper, and therefore, not green. For this reason the napkin calendars have been created. Napkins calendars are marked up with each day of the year. When the day is over you then use the napkin for blowing your nose on. If you don’t need to blow your nose every day then you could use it for jotting down notes etc…
