About Irozuki Egutegia

Irozuki hormako egutegi bat da, hilero kolorea aldatzen duena. Hilabete bakoitzak kolore eta espresio ezberdin bat erakusten du, horrela egutegia barnealde soil baten barruan azentu koloretsu gisa funtzionatzen duelarik. Hilabete bat amaitzean, amaitutako orria egutegiaren atzealdera mugitzen da. Sei hilabeteren ondoren, orri guztiak batera iraultzen dira eta kolore-konbinazio berri bat agertzen da. Hamabi hilabeterako sei paper inprimatu bakarrik erabiltzen dira. Egutegiak 220 mm x 260 mm neurtzen ditu. Paketea lore baten forma du eta paper bikoitzetatik ebakia dago, forma edozein erakusgailutan mantentzeko.

Production Technology: How to use
Step 1: When the month is over, bring the finished one to the back of the calendar.
Step 2: After 6 months, bring June to the back of the calendar.
Step 3: Turn over all papers together and the rest of 6 months starts with Irozuki.
You can enjoy the different colours every month after bringing a piece of the calendar to the back. 6 months later, another colour combinations will appear for you.
We could make this changing point by using only 6 papers for 12 months.
Design Challenge: The package design part was the most challenging point of this. We wanted to pack this calendar like a flower but it was very difficult to keep their flower shape because it must be hung.
So we designed a flower-shaped package’s basement with double cutting papers.
Then we could keep it like a flower on any display.
Research: We went to lots of stores and exhibitions related with calendar and lifestyle for researching about colorful calendars and products. And our friends’ houses as well, for researching reality. Then we figured out a colorful calendar would be able to be a colorful interior/product cheaper than stylish designers products.
We believe a simple lifestyle, a simple interior are very good choices. But we decided to make Irozuki as a beautiful spot color like a cool interior product.
Inspiration: We aim to make a calendar like monthly flowers.
We believe a simple lifestyle, a simple interior are very good choices. But we recommend adding Irozuki as a beautiful spot colour like a cool interior product.
