Production Technology

The do-it-yourself components of the tent calendar are assembled using aluminum alloy and sailcloth fabric. The environmentally friendly packaging, made of durable and cost-effective kraft paper, supports sustainability and easy transportation. Additionally, neatly arranged iron rods protect the product during transit and enhance its display qualities. The calendar's beautiful linen-cut prints depict the joys of camping across all four seasons, evoking a sense of warmth.

Design Challenge

This is a calendar designed to embody both classic style and the appearance of a real tent. Our team put a lot of analysis and design into this product. Given that the primary function is as a calendar, we didn't want the user to struggle too much with assembling the tent. Thus, we had to conduct extensive research and testing on how to thicken the tent poles' structure while making them easy to assemble and not prone to snapping, resulting in the final product's impressive features.

Project Duration

The project started in June 2022 in Guangzhou China and finished in October 2022, the product was sold to the market in October 2022. It was exhibited and sold at Red Dot Design Museum Xiamen in December 2022.

Operation Flow

This set comes with one main iron bar and four thin iron bars, each with screws that can be unscrewed. The four thin iron bars can be inserted into the main bar to build the structure, which is simple yet reasonable in design.
